-IMPORTANT NOTICES
-
-Do not (yet) install this software on a machine which relies for its
-functioning on its current set of crontabs.
-
-To not replace the cron daemon on a system, the package must be installed
-with the --disable-multi-user configure option.
-
-Before installing this package for the first time, it is necessary to terminate
-any running cron daemons on your system. If your old cron is not Vixie or
-accurately Vixie compatible (files in /var/cron/tabs*, /var/cron/allow,
-/var/cron/deny, /etc/crontab, /var/run/cron.pid) then you will need to clear out
-all old crontabs and make new ones afresh - or else look very carefully at the
-options you pass to the package configure script, as follows.
-
-It is often the case that GNU/Linux distributions and other Unices hacked the
-cron daemon to use different directories to those above. You can use configure
-options --spool-dir, --socket-file, --allow-file, --deny-file, --pid-file and
---tmp-dir to make mcron behave similarly. Note that, with the exception of
-tmp-dir, none of these files or directories should be accessible by ordinary
-(non-root) users.
-
-If your old cron is Vixie, or very similar, mcron should fall right into place
-where your old cron was (the binaries cron and crontab will be replaced, but if
-your existing system has a binary called crond, you should make this a link
-to mcron), and you should be able to continue to use your existing crontabs
-without noticing any changes.
-
-If you don't want to clobber your existing cron executables, you can specify
-the --program-prefix option to configure with a prefix ending in a
-non-alphabetic character, for example "m.", and then run the programs as
-m.mcron, m.cron (or m.crond) and m.crontab.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-After compilation, read the info file for full instructions for use (typing
-'info -f doc/mcron.info' at the command line should suffice).  Notes for end
-users, sysadmins, and developers who wish to incorporate mcron into their own
-programs are included here.
-
-Features which might be implemented sometime sooner or later are noted in the
-TODO file.
-
-Please send all other bug reports to bug-mcron@gnu.org.
