GNU Mcron 1.1 released as replacement to traditional Vixie Cron.

GNU Mcron is written in GNU Guile and the Mcron 1.1 release now supports the Guile 2.2 update. The main new feature of this Mcron release is the job procedure now having a #:user keyword argument to allow specifying a different user that will run the given job.

Does this mean i will need to learn another command besides cron
Or will this replace cron and keep the name.

Cron is cron, more or less. These are all different implementations of cron.

This is not new. The ER-4 has been released since November.

Supply is low still. So never buy shit from Amazon when supply is not flush, because you will pay too much money.

The ER-4 is $199 from official distribution channels.
