Description:
systemd units to provide cron daemon & anacron functionality
Provides systemd units to run cron jobs in /etc/cron.hourly cron.daily cron.weekly and cron.monthly directories, without having cron or anacron installed. It also provides a generator that dynamicaly translate /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d/* and user cronjobs in systemd units. Please notice this package provide a different set of features than Vixie-cron; trying to remain as simple as possible. By example, to avoid to run process through a wrapper, but have instead systemd run those dirrectly, it only send mails on error, including only a small blurb from the Journal; but doesn't send the full output of processes.
