The uschedule package contains a number of tools to manage the scheduling of jobs securely. The uscheduled daemon is run by a supervisor, such as "supervise" in the "daemontools" package or "runsv" in the "runit" package. uschedule is neither "cron" nor "at" - although it does offer similar functionality it is not intended to be a drop-in replacement. It works differently and is designed to be different.
