dcron: improve runjobs script

[sighook]

The package ships with runjobs script. It will be cool to improve this script, to follow GNU standards for usage/help/cmdline options, etc. Like other utilities in GNU/Linux.

• add manual page (document exit codes!)
• configurable niceless?

[sighook]

Maybe add the run-parts utility and use it instead? However, it has different implementations, and there is a need to pick a suitable one.

The Hyperbola uses the one from debian:

Switched to run-parts(8) from debianutils, which is shipped now in pkgsrc-core.

Closing.
