Based on the otrs file in /etc/init.d and in /etc/sysconfig for redhats like system it is used to check if required services are running and to populate cron table
the services that are checked are:
# if one of this is false, it will not be checked at the startup!
# Note: (may be the database isn't on the same host! --> DB_RUNNING=0)
#
OTRS_DB_RUNNING=1
OTRS_HTTP_RUNNING=1
OTRS_CRON_RUNNING=1

What are the other scheduled functions that are running ?
