# $Id: Portfile 33297 2008-01-23 09:32:47Z ryandesign macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: fcron
Version: 3.0.2
Category: sysutils
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: nomaintainer
Description: fcron is an alternative scheduler aka cron daemon
Long Description: fcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it implements most of its functionalities. But contrary to Vixie Cron, fcron does not need your system to be up 7 days a week, 24 hours a day : it also works well with systems which are not running neither all the time nor regularly (contrary to anacrontab).
