Hi,
Is fcron scheduler available in CentOS 5.6 Server ? I did yum search fcron and it does not return anything.
As per http://fcron.free.fr/description.php
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).
In other words, fcron does both the job of Vixie Cron and anacron, but does even more and better :)) ... Any clue,
Regards,
