Hi, //config: help //config: Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab //config: files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question. //config: This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the //config: format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example: //config: $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root //config: # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day: //config: 40 4 * * * /etc/cron/daily > /dev/null 2>&1 Ciao, Tito _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
