Totally. We should replace run-parts with something much simpler and |
| 12 |
more predictable. Then, if that doesn't work for you, all modern crons |

can do the things that run-parts tries to do, but better. |

Basically: if I choose vixie-cron, then let me get the vixie-cron |
| 16 |
behavior. Or if I choose something more modern, get out of the way. |
