I wouldn't say that vixie-cron is dead since it is still functional, however I would rather say that it is outdated. In my opinion, cronie, unlike the other cron variants is the most reliable. Also, many other distributions like Arch[1] and openSUSE[2] have already switched from vixie-cron to cronie. Note: We need a new entry for cronie to our Cron wiki page [3] [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/cron [2] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Cron_replace [3] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cron Pavlos
