| | | | | | | | | | I think the level of debug code in cron is excessive for a program that has reached feature complete. If cron needs to provide more information to the user about its operational status, I think syslog would be more appropriate. (The debug flags also disable forking into the background, so they aren't even that useful for debugging a live system.) ok deraadt millert

* Move contents of /var/at into /var/cron since at is now intergrated intomillert2003-02-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cron. When ISC cron 5.0 is out the integration will be even tighter. Also rename /var/cron/{allow,deny} -> /var/cron/cron.{allow,deny} for consistency with POSIX and at.{allow,deny} and install an empty cron.deny file (as we do at.deny) since crontab will require this in the near future for POSIX compliance. After a "make build" you can update your system as follows: # mv /var/at/* /var/cron # mv /var/cron/jobs /var/cron/atjobs # mv /var/cron.allow /var/cron/cron.allow # mv /var/cron.deny /var/cron/cron.deny # rm -rf /var/at # kill `cat /var/run/cron.pid` ; cron

| | | | | | | | | | | | long-standing annoyance that atrun's granularity is 10 minutes. Most at jobs run with a 1 minute granularity. Jobs submitted via "at now" or "batch" will run immediately. Includes a rewritten cron(8) man page. at(1) will be integrated more closely into cron at a future date. Upgrading notes: the atrun job in root's crontab should be removed. the /var/at/spool directory is no longer used

* crontab is no longer setuid root, it is now setgid crontab.millert2002-05-091-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes were modelled after the Owl version of vixie-cron, but developed independently. Our crontab used to send cron SIGUSR1 to tell cron to reread the spool dir. Now that crontab is not setuid root this doesn't work. Instead, crontab pokes cron via a Unix domain socket located in the tabs dir. Please note, after these changes, the owner on user crontab files will have to be changed manually from root to the uid of the corresponding user for crontab to be usable. cron itself will accept tab files owned by either root or the user. Also, any /var/cron/{allow,deny} files must be readable by group crontab.
* Cause crontab to send SIGUSR1 when a user's crontab file has changed.millert2001-12-201-6/+20
| | | | | | In cron, this interrupts the sleep() in cron_sleep() and causes cron to check to see what signal woke it up and act appropriately. This makes crontab changes take effect more or immediately.
* Mention that cron should be started late in the rc file and why.millert2001-12-131-1/+5
