It -is functionally based on the SysV cron, which means that each user can have -their own crontab file (all crontab files are stored in a read-protected -directory, usually /var/cron/tabs). No direct support is provided for -'at'; you can continue to run 'atrun' from the crontab as you have been -doing. If you don't have atrun (i.e., System V) you are in trouble. - -A messages is logged each time a command is executed; also, the files -"allow" and "deny" in /var/cron can be used to control access to the -"crontab" command (which installs crontabs). It hasn't been tested on -SysV, although some effort has gone into making the port an easy one. - -The code was all written by me, and is (quoted from Makefile): - -#/* Copyright 1988,1990 by Paul Vixie -# * All rights reserved -# * -# * Distribute freely, except: don't remove my name from the source or -# * documentation (don't take credit for my work), mark your changes (don't -# * get me blamed for your possible bugs), don't alter or remove this -# * notice.

Since ATT couldn't use this version if they had to freely distribute -source, and since I'd love to see them use it, I'll offer some rediculously -low license fee just to have them take it. In the unlikely event that they -do this, I will continue to support and distribute the pseudo-PD version, so -please, don't flame me for wanting my work to see a wider distribution. - -To use this: Sorry, folks, there is no cutesy 'Configure' script. You'll -have to go edit a couple of files... So, here's the checklist: - - Read all the FEATURES, INSTALL, and CONVERSION files - Edit config.h - Edit Makefile - (both of these files have instructions inside; note that - some things in config.h are definable in Makefile and are - therefore surrounded by #ifndef...#endif) - 'make' - 'su' and 'make install' - (you may have to install the man pages by hand) - kill your existing cron process - (actually you can run your existing cron if you want, but why?) - build new crontabs using /usr/lib/{crontab,crontab.local} - (either put them all in "root"'s crontab, or divide it up - and rip out all the 'su' commands, collapse the lengthy - lists into ranges with steps -- basically, this step is - as much work as you want to make it) - start up the new cron - (must be done as root) - watch it. test it with 'crontab -r' and watch the daemon track your - changes. - if you like it, change your /etc/{rc,rc.local} to use it instead of - the old one. - -$Header: /a/cvs/386BSD/src/libexec/crond/README,v 1.1.1.1 1993/06/12 14:55:04 rgrimes Exp $ -$Source: /a/cvs/386BSD/src/libexec/crond/README,v $ -$Revision: 1.1.1.1 $ -$Log: README,v $ -# Revision 1.1.1.1 1993/06/12 14:55:04 rgrimes -# Initial import, 0.1 + pk 0.2.4-B1 -# -Revision 2.2 91/05/29 11:37:38 vixie -vixie - -Revision 2.1 90/07/18 00:23:54 vixie -Baseline for 4.4BSD release - -Revision 2.0 88/12/10 04:57:50 vixie -V2 Beta - -Revision 1.2 87/07/10 11:36:45 paul -misc - -Revision 1.1 87/07/10 11:15:05 paul -Initial revision |
