 | cron | The cron daemon must be running for cron jobs to work. |

 | `setuser` | A tool for running a command as another user. Easier to use than `su`, has a smaller attack vector than `sudo`, and unlike `chpst` this tool sets `$HOME` correctly. Available as `/sbin/setuser`. |
+| `install_clean` | A tool for installing `apt` packages that automatically cleans up after itself.  All arguments are passed to `apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends` and after installation the apt caches are cleared.  To include recommended packages, add `--install-recommends`. |
