• Description

  Does what it says on the tin! If you want to restart the job daemon regularly so that it re-reads the job list, this little script will do the job for you. It's important to restart the job daemon when changing clocks moving from summer to winter time, as otherwise the job daemon will fire off each job twice, an hour apart.
