Hello, I was browsing the Ideas page for ways to contribute to BSD. I came across this (which does not have any contact, I think). If it is still open, I wanted to check if I could try to do this. Briefly - I am in IT, and have been using UNIX since grad school in the early 90s (Solaris, briefly Ultrix/Aix and then different Linuxes and MacOS). C/C++/Java programming, scripting, installs, etc... and various other stuff. I want to give it a shot if you all think that is ok. Thanks a lot k.sridhar (U.S resident in Virginia) *Improve cron(8) and atrun(8)* *Currently, cron(8) and atrun(8) are outdated in their implementation. Here are some directions for improvement:* - *Update cron(8) to ISC cron with security fixes from OpenBSD.* - *Integrate the atrun(8) functionality into cron(8), as it was done in NetBSD.* *Requirements* - *Strong knowledge of the C language and Unix API.*
