You are just replacing the run‐crons script which is used in distribu‐
tions to handle the /etc/cron.[hourly|weekly|monthly] scripts? Running
the script all the time is a bit of time‐wasting. The scheduler should
know, to save CPU cycles, when the next task is arriving.
I am using fcron[0] with just 11k. It has a nice shell fcrondyn with dy‐
namic task scheduling and it won’t shoot into your back like vixie cron
does on an unstable time source.
Sincerely,
Christoph Lohmann
