Unnoc crontab wrapper was added in 1.0.3

Unnoc Crontab Wrapper

Unnoc can be run from crontab, instead of as a daemon.  This is good in
a few ways, one of which is that you don't have to worry about another
daemon dieing.  It can be very fast for small installations (less than 50
hosts).  However, if your load average or CPU usage is very high,
then you might want to consider running in daemon mode.

	
	1. Configuration
	2. Reloading


1. Configuration

To enable the unnoc cron wrapper, you need to place the following line in your
/etc/crontab (note this runs it as the user 'unnoc'):

	* * * * * unnoc /var/www/unnoc/bin/unnoc-cron.pl /var/www/unnoc


Intervals are now set on a per host basis, with the 'interval'
directive, like this:

	host {
		...
		interval = 3
		...
	}

	host {
		...
		interval = 1 
	}


Syntax is a valid number, in minutes, of how often you want it to run.

2. Reloading

There is no reloading required, as unnoc-cron reads the config file
every time it runs.  Daemon mode is the only mode required to reload.
