If we had something like the cfgtool prototype I mentioned earlier, inspired by many earlier discussions, we could have an /etc/cron.daily/calendar like this: if [ `cfgtool --get calendar-run-by-cron` = yes ] then calendar -a fi Since it's just a prototype, we could imagine support for booleans (among other data types): if cfgtool --is-true calendar-run-by-cron then calendar -a fi I'm more and more convinced that /etc/default or chkconfig or cfgtool or something like that would be a really good idea. An interface that consists of a suitably versatile program might be best, since it allows more freedom in placement of files, changes in file formats, and so on, and also makes it easier to use in scripts. -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
