Begin3 Title: hc-cron Version: 0.13 Entered-date: 16OCT99 Description: This is a drop-in replacement for Paul Vixie's widely used cron daemon. Like the original program it runs specified jobs at periodic intervals. However, the original crond relies on the computer running continuously, otherwise jobs will be missed. This problem is addressed by hc-cron, that is indended for use on 'home-computers' that are typically turned off every day; hc-cron will remember the time when it last ran a job or when it was shut-down and then catch-up any jobs that might have occured during down time when it is started again.
