Hi all,

I recently replaced dcron by fcron.
I noticed that dcron does not have an install script with a pre_remove function to stop the daemon before removal. I still have a process '/usr/sbin/crond' running in memory without having the executable on my harddisk !
The problem is also happening with fcron (I will put a comment in the AUR website, as fcron is a community package)

I hope it helped !
Cheers,
Chicha

we don't start or stop daemons during package installation, it's up to the user to do this.
