Yes. Look at the system crontab at /etc/crontab. On most systems the default system crontab has something like this (this is from a WBEL system): 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly The run-parts script basically runs all of the scripts in the directory specified in the command line. Most other distributions have got similar mechanisms. -- To err is human, but to foul things up takes a computer. And to make a total disastrous mess takes a computer *operated* by a human. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
