On GNU/Linux systems, micrond uses
inotify to track
crontab modifications, which means that any change to a crontab is
noticed as soon as the crontab file is saved.
On other systems, micrond relies on checking the crontab
modification times each minute, which is less effective.
The use of the ‘kqueue’ interface on *BSD systems is planned in future versions.
