Because the effort involved is trivial, I am writing a PD version of cron that will be compatible with SVID. In fact, it's about done. However, I'm starting to wonder if some other features would be popular, like specifying days of the week or months of the year by name instead of by number. I would, of course, accept either -- the thing DOES HAVE to be compatible. Anyone else know of any downward-compatible extensions they'd like to see in a PD cron program ? Please send mail, I'll summarize to the net. -- Paul A.
