What I mean is that mcron-jobs assumes that the mcron-service is used.
Calling it something general like jobs or cron-jobs wouldn't require
renaming, if someone wants to use a different cron implementation. For
example in an embedded system someone might prefer to use the
busybox/toybox cron implementation. I'm not sure what other job time
scheduling solutions exist. But a job is something that needs to run
at specific times and has a bounded run time. I don't know how cron
specific this feature is, or if the name of the job scheduler it's
relevant as part of an operating-system declaration.
