/etc/cron.d/bkctld

30 10 * * * /usr/sbin/bkctld inc && /usr/sbin/bkctld rm

If you install the package, there is a high probability that you will need the cron, so why not setting it by default?

I dont currently have any objections, but maybe a post installation message saying: you may want to add this to your crontab(5) might suffice.

The cron must not be set by default for multiples reasons:

  • bkctld cron can be very heavy for system IO
  • bkctld inc and rm can be run every hour; every day or other alternative time setup
  • you don't necessarily wan't inc and rm to be run
