Thinking about it, I must admit I don't understand why the original author designed the scheduling thing like this. Probably the wish for a more user-friendly configuration language, I guess. Anyway, I'm in favour of switching to cron; this implies: * on the Debian packaging side, translating and migrating the configuration on upgrade, as best as possible (jobs can specify their own scheduling, which complicates the process a fair bit) * documentation work for non-Debian users. As always, patches are welcome, as it's pretty unlikely anyone in the current backupninja dev team will have time to implement this.
