```
-f Stay in foreground mode, don't daemonize.
-l Enable LSB compliant names for /etc/cron.d files. This setting, however, does not affect the parsing of files under /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly or
/etc/cron.monthly.
-n Include the FQDN in the subject when sending mails. By default, cron will abbreviate the hostname.
-L loglevel
