====== fcron ====== * [[cron]] === Gentoo Linux === fcron refuses to stop with ''start-stop-daemon --pidfile ${FCRON_PIDFILE}'' if there are multiple PIDs. Change the line in ''/etc/init.d/fcron'' to this instead: <code>start-stop-daemon --stop -n fcron</code> [[https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388371|bug 388371]] ==== fcron Samples ==== See ''man 5 fcrontab'' ==== fcron vs. vixie-cron ==== ''fcron'' uses a dedicated user to run root commands (systab). vixie-cron uses root to run the commands as, and set it's own variables (see /etc/crontab) that override default environment variables (such as HOME). I like fcron better because it is more predictable and doesn't change things around. Debugging scripts that run as cron jobs is tricky, and the less surprises, the better.
