Unlike Z-Cron, nnCron has no GUI as it uses the standard unix crontab format. I think this is actually easier because once you take a few minutes to understand the crontab format, setting up a new job is trivial. I don't know about the memory footprint of Z-Cron, but nnCron is extremely lightweight and stable. I’ve been using nnCron for many years and it’s always been flawless.

Many times I want to go to bed at 4am but I have a download that still has 15mins to go so I just type something like sudo halt 4:30 And I can goto sleep knowing that my system will shut itself down. Cron is so powerful. Many times I want to go to bed at 4am but I have a download that still has 15mins to go so I just type something like

sudo halt 4:30

And I can goto sleep knowing that my system will shut itself down.
