[Note from Debian cron maintainer: This is the original README from
the the vixie-cron package. The location of many cron files has been
changed in order to comply with Debian policy and common sense -- look
in the cron(8), crontab(1) and crontab(5) man pages for more info, as
well as the README.Debian file in this directory.]
This is a version of 'cron' that is known to run on BSD 4.[23] 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, 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.
This is more or less the copyright that USENET contributed software usually
has. 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.
