I noticed two small differences: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1. Emails come from "(Cron Daemon)" instead of "Cron Daemon". |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2. The binary is /usr/sbin/crond instead of /usr/sbin/cron. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Everything else seems normal. |

Here are the steps to update; they're obvious, but it's easy to skip |
| 20 |
some accidentally: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
rc-update del vixie-cron default |
| 23 |
/etc/init.d/vixie-cron stop |
| 24 |
emerge -C vixie-cron |
| 25 |
emerge cronie |
| 26 |
rc-update add cronie default |
| 27 |
/etc/init.d/cronie start |
