Disable cron? #40

Closed simonvanderveldt closed 6 years ago

simonvanderveldt commented 6 years ago

Noticed cron is still started (by cron.service), since we don't have any need for it I think we can/should disable it. @artfwo what do you think?

artfwo commented 6 years ago

we shouldn't do that, many things depend on it. (logrotate and fake-hwclock are pretty important for instance)

Holy crap, you're right.
