Comment 3 for bug 225061

Re-opening, since I don't think a "suggest" is appropriate here: cron is _required_ actually, for querying the nodes and for updating the html pages (when not using "cgi mode" - which isn't default).
So it should be at least a recommendation.
Since "cron" is installed on most systems, this isn't a problem for most users, but if you install munin, without cron being installed, how is it supposed to work? (Note: I'm not talking about munin-node, which does not require cron).

It would be nice to get the Debian maintainer(s) opinion(s) on this. I think the bug should get forwarded therefore. What do you think?
