hc-cron is a cron daemon for 'home computers'. It
runs specified jobs at periodic intervals and will
remember the time when it was shut down and
catch up jobs that have occurred during down time
when it is started again. Hc-cron is based on the
widely used vixie-cron and uses the same crontab
format so that it can be used as a drop-in
replacement for that program.
