Recommendations for a next-gen cron?
I have a half dozen systems running systemd... and one experiment running dinit. I find myself enjoying dinit immensly. It's incredibly fast, compared to systemd, and a pleasure to work with.
However, on that one dinit system, I'm running cron, and I _don't_ like that. I'd forgotten how bad it was; systemd timers are far better.
What's a next-gen cron replacement that isn't systemd? That treats non-root users as first-class citizens, acts sanely in an X session, and can load session vars?
