Suggestion: Move Greyhole con jobs to cron.daily

[jayrock]

Hi,

Currently the Greyhole daily cron are only executed if the server is running at 0:00 am. To allow for servers that are powered down at midnight, I'd suggest to move daily fsck and restart cron jobs to from /etc/cron.d to /etc/cron.daily.

I've done it and it works, I guess it's a simple change to the installation procedure.

An advanced option could be to let the users select if fsck should run hourly or daily, ie. move it to /etc/cron.hourly or /etc/cron.daily.

Cheers,

The daily jobs will be gone in the next version of Greyhole.
Only a weekly fsck will be kept.
But it's indeed a good idea to move that one to cron.weekly instead of cron.d to insure it gets run.

You might want to delete your custom entries in cron.daily now, since the Greyhole update will not remove that.
They are not needed anymore.

Even better, thanks!
