[linux-audio-user] Stopping cron jobs

[Jan Depner]

I always turn off crond before I start doing any serious recording. I
also turn off syslogd and anything else that can cause a problem.  None
of this will compromise your system.  I set up a script to turn
everything off and one to turn everything on.  Qjackctl has slots to run
these.
