+# Script to check and see if any system (f)crontabs have changed, and if so
+# build a fcrontab file from /etc/crontab, /etc/fcrontab and files from
+# /etc/cron.d/ and notify fcron about the change.
+#
+# WARNING : - if you run this script, your system fcrontab will be overridden
+# by the content of /etc/crontab, /etc/fcrontab, /etc/cron.d :
+# save the content of your system fcrontab first if necessary.
+#
+# - you should not have the same lines in /etc/crontab
+# and /etc/fcrontab, in which case the jobs would get run twice.
+# (/etc/crontab may for example be used for Vixie-cron compatible
+# lines, and /etc/fcrontab for the other ones)
+#
+# - you must understand that the contents of all the mentionned
+# files will go to a single file : the system fcrontab.
+# This means that you should pay attention to the global option
+# settings and environment variable assignments, which may
+# affect the other files too while you thought it wouldn't.
+#
+# This script was originally created for a Debian server. A number of
+# Debian packages like to drop files in /etc/cron.d/ and it would be nice
+# to have something automatically create a system fcrontab file and notify
+# fcron when those files change, so the system administrator doesn't have
+# to try and keep up with it all manually.
+#
+# It is planned that such feature is integreated directly in fcron
+# in the future (in a cleaner and more efficient way). Until then,
+# this script should be useful.
+#
+# I recommend running this script using dnotify or a similar program
+# (dnotify wait for a change in a file or a directory, and run a command
+# when it happens), with a something like that:
+# dnotify -b -p 1 -q 0 -MCDR /etc /etc/cron.d -e /usr/local/sbin/check_system_crontabs
+# in your boot scripts.
+#
+# Because we don't want the system fcrontab to be generated every few seconds
+# if the sys admin is working in /etc/ (the script has probably been called
+# by dnotify because of a change in /etc, but it may be a file not related
+# to fcron), the script will by default sleep so as to avoid being run too
+# often. The default sleep time is 30 seconds, and can be adjusted by changing
+# DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIME_BEFORE_REBUILD below, or by passing -s X, where X is
+# the number of seconds to sleep. X can be 0.
+#
+# If you can't use dnotify, you should run this script from the system fcrontab
+# with a line like this:
+#
+# @ 1 /usr/local/sbin/check_system_crontabs -s 0
+#
+# To force an immediate rebuild at the commandline try:
+# check_system_crontabs -f -i
+#
+# For more help on command-line options:
+# check_system_crontabs -h

+ -f Force rebuild, even if no changes are found.
+ -s SECONDS Sleep for SECONDS before rebuilding.
+ Default: $DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIME_BEFORE_REBUILD seconds.
+ -i Interactive use with no delay; same as -s 0.
+ -p PATHNAME Full path to or filename of the fcrontab binary; use this
+ only if it cannot be found automatically.
+ -F FILE System fcrontab file (default $DEFAULT_FCRONTAB_FILE).
+ -C FILE System crontab file (default $DEFAULT_CRONTAB_FILE).
+ -D DIR System crontab directory (default $DEFAULT_CROND_DIR).
