| 16 | I am all for it. I wouldn't say that vixie-cron is dead since it is still |
| 17 | functional, however I would rather say that it is outdated. |
| 18 | In my opinion, cronie, unlike the other cron variants is the most reliable. |
| 19 | Also, many other distributions like Arch[1] and openSUSE[2] have already |
| 20 | switched from vixie-cron to cronie. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Note: We need a new entry for cronie to our Cron wiki page [3] |
