    Issue warning if cronjobs aren't automatically set
    
    Init script is supposed to set cronjobs automatically on start and remove
    them on stop. This works only with cron daemons that may hook at runtime
    scripts at ${DST_CRONSCRIPT_DIR} (e.g. sys-process/vixie-cron can). For
    other cron daemons it's safer to warn users and ask them to set cronjobs
    manually.
