I have moved the news stuff to the changes file now and use this to 
describe the installation. Ucrond is an improved cron with some 
properties to restart commands after a shutdown or to specify them
relative to the uptime. The complete description is in the manpages.
To read them without building all the files you can do a 'make manpages'
first.

INSTALLATION:

1) Take a look at the Makefile for compile-time defaults.

2) Type make

3) Become root and type make install. If you have another cron you
   should either backup /usr/sbin/crond and /usr/bin/crontab or change
   the /usr prefix in Makefile to /usr/local before you do this.
   To avoid paranoia, make install will create the following files:

   PREFIX/sbin/crond              The daemon
   PREFIX/bin/crontab		  Command to maintain crontabs 
   PREFIX/bin/dtime		  Displays the uptime counter
   PREFIX/man/man1/crontab.1	  
   PREFIX/man/man1/dtime.1
   PREFIX/man/man8/crond.8
   /usr/doc/crond/		  
   /var/lib/crontabs		  Directory with crontab files.

   During the first startup the file /var/log/uptime will also be created
   to save the system uptime counter.
   
   If you have installed in /usr/local, avoid name conflicts with an
   existing cron. Probably you have to rename one of the crontab
   commands or use absolute pathnames. 

4) Start crond for a test and take a look at syslog. Try dtime to see
   if it counts the system uptime. The rc line to start at boot time could
   look like /sbin/crond -l /var/log/cron to use a logfile.

5) Use crontab <file> or crontab -e to install crontabs. There is a file
   crontab.sample included, but normally you can use your existing ones.
   The name for the root crontab is defined in Makefile and can be changed
   there.

Finally, thanks to all users who have written me mail, reported problems 
or helped otherwise. If you have an unusual problem with it, just drop me
a mail.
