Bad timespec_subtract() calculations produce negative tv_nsec on i386 which cause EINVAL returned from nanosleep() which cause loop in cron_sleep() and making all cron jobs to start about 30 seconds earlier (which cause f.e. logfiles rotation by newsyslog delayed by 1 hour).
Use simple and proved calculations from kernel's timespecsub() instead.

Second attempt to add @every_second keyword support. Due to multiple requests, default to the previous 60-seconds scheduling method unless there is any @every_second entries to conserve CPU cycles and power.
This change also improves scheduling in the default mode by running as close to the beginning of the minnute as possible by replacing sleep(3) with nanosleep(2). Previously, the tasks would run anywhere within the first second of the minute and that offset drifted back and forth each time cron(8) was engaged.

o Use nanosleep(2) to sleep exact amount of time till the next second, not multiple of 1 second, which results in actual time to drift back and forth every run within 1 second of the actual action has been set for.
Suggested by: Ian Lepore
o Schedule the first run in 1 second after starting up, not on the boundary of the next minute, which results in the every_second jobs not being run.

Add per-second scheduling into the cron(8). Right now it's only available via the new @every_second shortcut. ENOTIME to implement crontab(5) format extensions to allow more flexible scheduling.
In order to address some concerns expressed by Terry Lambert while discussing the topic few years ago, about per-second cron possibly causing some bad effects on /etc/crontab by stat()ing it every second instead of every minute now (i.e. atime update), only check that database needs to be reloaded on every 60-th loop run. This should be close enough to the current behaviour.
Add "@every_minute" shortcut while I am here.

Avoid sshd, cron, syslogd and inetd to be killed under high-pressure swap environments. Please note that this can't be done while such processes run in jails.
Note: in future it would be interesting to find a way to do that selectively for any desired proccess (choosen by user himself), probabilly via a ptrace interface or whatever.

Add -m option to cron(8), overriding default mail recipient for cron mails, unless explicitly provided by MAILTO= line in crontab. This feature can be useful in massive hosting environment, where most users do not care about autogenerated mails.
Setting recipient to null string disables default mails at all.

Pidfiles should be created with permission preventing users from opening them for reading. When user can open file for reading, he can also flock(2) it, which can lead to confusions.

Use pidfile(3) in cron(8).
Note, that when cron(8) cannot create pidfile, it'll exit. I didn't changed this behaviour, but its better to ignore errors other than EEXIST, so daemon can be started on systems where /var/ file system doesn't support locking (like NFS without rpc.lockd(8)).

Add two new options to cron(8), -J and -j. They allow to specify the maximum amount of time jitter for root and other users, respectively. Before starting a job, cron(8) will sleep a random number of seconds, from 0 to the amount specified. This can help to smooth down load spikes when a lot of jobs are to start at the beginning of a particular minute (e.g., the first minute of an hour.)

Made the special handling of the daylight time switches optional, enabled by the option "-s" (for dSt). This returned the default behavior to its original form.
The new option name is not "-d" because that would cause associations with "debug" and cron already has "-x" for debugging, so this would cause confusion.

Prevent cron from going crazy if the time steps. For example, if you have a system with hundreds of users and lots of different crontabs and your time steps back an hour, the old cron would then attempt to run an hours worth of cron jobs in a few seconds.
