Message-ID: <19990615172412.A2953@cons.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The subject sais it all: I need a cron-like program, just that it should not bother with different users. Just run as the user that started it, execute commands as specified in a single table, enviroment unchanged. I looked into Vixie's cron, but it isn't excatly modular. I can't easily reuse the crontab/scheduling code without the userid management, the whole parsed table organization is multiuser-oriented. Any ideas?
