Cron

Cron is meant to run on the auth server, however it will run happily on a standalone workstation.

CREATE USER CRON FILE

auth/cron -c

This will create the directory /cron/username and an empty cron file /cron/username/cron.

See cron(1) for details of the cron file format. Remember to use local as the machine name.

START CRON AT BOOT

Add auth/cron to /bin/rc/termrc.local

E.g.

TIMESYNCARGS=(-ra1000000)
# start acpi
aux/acpi
# start cron
auth/cron
