freebsd-ports/sysutils/zccron/pkg-descr
Edwin Groothuis 3aaf426837 New port: sysutil/zccron A cron like tool that performs a single pass on a crontab stored in ZConf.
This is like comiccron, but stores the tabs in ZConf. For
	it to run the command, the last or next time it will be
	will have to be within a minute and 15 seconds. For most
	usages, you will want to have the hour and minute set to
	*. This allows a user to do something how ever many times
	they want any time during the period it is active.

	After running through every entry in the crontab, it then
	exits.

	Why not cron?

	You can have cron open opera or the like on a specific
	display by either switch or enviromental options, but it
	will always open it. This allows you to open it any time
	along the point it is active.
