The biggest difference between runwhen and other schedulers is that
runwhen doesn't have a single daemon overseeing multiple jobs.
The runwhen tools essentially act as a glorified sleep command.
Perhaps runwhen does nothing that at(1) doesn't, and there are
lots of things at(1) does that runwhen doesn't:
- runwhen doesn't change user IDs - thus it will never run
anything as the wrong user.
- It doesn't keep a central daemon running at all times -
thus it won't break if that daemon dies.
- It doesn't require any modifications to the system boot procedure.
- It doesn't log through syslog(3) - thus it won't make a mess
on the console if syslogd(1) isn't running.
- It doesn't centralize storage of scheduled jobs (or any other
per-job information) - thus unprivileged users can install and use it
without cooperation from root, and without the use of a setuid program
to handle changes.
- It doesn't send output through mail - thus it doesn't break
if there is no mail system installed.
- It doesn't check access control files - thus it doesn't gratuitously
deny users.

the simple case it's no more complex than s{^~/}{$HOME/}, but
for other cases it consults C<getpwent> and does the right
thing.

- updated website address
- Use USE_SDL instead of manually specifying devel/sdl12 as LIB_DEPENDS
and setting SDL_CONFIG.
- Enable screenshot and modem emulation support.
- Install the dosbox(1) manual page.
- Move the message displayed by the post-install target into a pkg-message
so it also gets displayed when this port is installed via its package.

- Update to 1.9.45, lots of bugfixes, too many to list here,
see http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/NEWS
- Install German manual pages into standard location so that man(1) can find
them. (MANLANG and all that, along the lines used in security/nmap)
- Fix up NOPORTDOCS mode so it actually works
- Fix pkg-message to not contain the same text twice
While I'm here [2]:
- simplify/shorten post-install target a bit by using few new variables
and unrolling loops
- rename ${PREFIX}/share/doc/leafnode/doc_german to just .../german.
I think extra "doc_" there is unnecessary
- s/ECHO/ECHO_MSG/
- whitespace changes to shorten line lengths in Makefile
