This is bcron, a new cron system designed with secure operations in mind. To do this, the system is divided into several separate programs, each responsible for a separate task, with strictly controlled communications between them. The user interface is a drop-in replacement for similar systems (such as vixie-cron), but the internals differ greatly.
http://untroubled.org/bcron/ License is GPL2. There'll be two binary packages: bcron, containing the bcron programs and documentation, and bcron-run, setting up the bcron services, and providing, replacing, and conflicting with the default cron package.
