Norc is a rewrite of cron in bash. Job syntax is compatible with vixie cron.
To run, just execute the script as root. For example:
nohup ./norc &> /path/to/logfile &
Jobs go into /var/spool/norc. After making changes to the job file, send a SIGHUP to the norc process:
kill -1 pidof norc
Limitations:
It assumes that your job specification has the correct syntax.
