rchaldaemon relies on rccron
Last modified: 2008-07-16 15:46:40 UTC
cron is one of the things that constantly cause the disk to spin up. insserv -r cron does not work because haldaemon pretends to have a hard requirement for cron. hal.rpm seems to have no cron scripts in the pacakge list.
This was in the script since 9.3 this was never a problem. I could not find the reason for this, but I think this was something with start HAL on special place in the init process. We can remove this for 10.1 with the next version
submitted new package without requirement of cron to stable
