GNU mcron --- README -*-text-*-

This is version 1.0.8 of the GNU mcron program. It is designed and written by
Dale Mellor, and replaces and hugely enhances Vixie cron. It is functionally
complete, production quality code (did you expect less?), but has not received
much testing yet. It has only been built on a GNU/Linux system, and will most
likely fail on others (but you never know...).
This is GNU Mcron, a tool to run jobs at scheduled times. It is a complete
replacement for Vixie cron. Besides supporting the traditional Vixie syntax
for its configuration files, GNU Mcron offers the possibility to define jobs
using the Scheme language.
See the INSTALL file for generic information about how to configure and
install GNU Mcron. If this file is not present, see HACKING for
preliminary build instructions.
