Email support was the bain of my existence. I forgot how many misconfigured system I came across decades ago that would fill up their filesystem with logs from crons in the root mail dir. Such a stupid default setting. We have vastly better methods for monitoring systems these days then firing off an email when a cron runs.
And as I just recently learned, network namespaces support! Those can be handy if you need a backup job to route through a VPN tunnel, or some such thing.
Automatic failure handling, advanced logging, independent execution environment control, cgroups support, service dependency management…
On the negative side, it takes slightly more work to configure timed tasks and there’s no integrated email support.
Refer to the Arch Wiki for more detailed information.
