+Cronie contains the standard UNIX daemon crond that runs specified programs
+at scheduled times and related tools. It is based on the original cron and
+has security and configuration enhancements like the ability to use pam
+and SELinux.
+
+By default this SlackBuild will include anacron in the package. If you do want
+this, pass ANACRON=no to the SlackBuild.
+
+Note that Slackware has dcron - Dillon's Cron daemon. This package will
+conflict with this package. It is advised to remove dcron before installing
+cronie:
+
+ Stop the dcron daemon:
+ # ps x | grep cron
+ # kill <cron_pid>
+ Remove the dcron package:
+ # removepkg dcron
+ # rm -rf /var/spool/cron
+
+Slackware's boot script assumes that you have dcron and thus has to be
+modified:
+
+Change this line in /etc/rc.d/rc.M
+
+ /usr/sbin/crond -l notice
+
+to:
+
+ /usr/sbin/crond
