Vixie Cron is a popular implementation of cron for running scheduled
|
||
|
|
commands for the system and regular users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a version of 'cron' that is known to run on most systems. 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).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A message is logged each time a command is executed; also, the files
|
||
|
|
"allow" and "deny" can be used to control access to the "crontab" command
|
||
|
|
(which installs crontabs).
