After some online search I have also found some cron-like packages
inside debian:
* bcron = Bruce's cron system
binary package sizes: 60 kByte + 8 kByte
popcon = 25 Inst.
upstream does not exist
DM is active
* fcron = cron-like with extended capabilities
binary package size: 257 kByte
popcon = 137 inst.
DM seems to be less active
upstream is very active:
in Debian is version 3.0.1, upstream is 3.0.6!
I would say the easiest way would be using fcron as replacement of cron.
Fondest regards,
