Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Why is "install application" seperate from "install service"?

It seems to me a service is something that would only be used by another application, something that would never be stand-alone, and therefore something that would never be installed by a person except as a dependency.

The cronjob package doesn't fit this definition. It is a stand-alone package. It only has admin pages because it might be too dangerous to allow users to run queries of their choosing anytime they want.

However, if you can still navigate to and install a service package, then it really doesn't matter to me where cronjob shows up in the apm.
