2003-02-20Sync with ISC cron-current + my at(1) integration.Todd C. Miller
The at(1) code is now more tightly integrated into the cron codebase.
2003-02-20If there is no cron.allow or cron.deny file, only the superuser may runTodd C. Miller
the crontab command; for POSIX compliance. Create an empty cron.deny file to allow any user to run crontab: install -c -o root -g crontab -m 660 /dev/null /var/cron/cron.deny
2003-02-20cron.{allow,deny}, not at.{allow,deny}; noticed by Dries SchellekensTodd C. Miller
2003-02-19Move contents of /var/at into /var/cron since at is now intergrated intoTodd C. Miller
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
2002-07-15Move atrun(8) functionality into cron(8) proper. This fixes theTodd C. Miller
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
2002-07-08Merge in some changes from Paul Vixie's tree; most are cosmeticTodd C. Miller
o ANSI function headers o return (foo) not return foo o add -oi to sendmail flags o update email address in man pages o make some strings const o completely remove globbing cruft from popen.c o whitespace changes o add DOW_STAR to flags for "monthly", "weekly", and "daily" cron entries

2002-05-09crontab is no longer setuid root, it is now setgid crontab.Todd C. Miller
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.

2001-06-19o Don't talk about /bin/mail vs. sendmail since we always build withTodd C. Miller
sendmail support. o Remove misleading info in STANDARDS about the syntax being different from previous Vixie Cron versions. The flags have been this way for all versions of cron we have shipped with.

I also fixed the signal handlers while I was at it.

cleanup along the way.
1999-07-09- remove all trailing whitespaceAaron Campbell
* except when it is escaped with a `\' at the end of the line - fix remaining .Nm usage as well - this is from a patch I received from kwesterback@home.com, who has been working on some scripts for fixing formatting errors in mdoc'd man pages Ok, so there could be a cost/benefit debate with this commit, but since I have the patch we might as well commit it...
1999-07-07The proper order of the ``introductory'' macros in a man page is .Dd/.Dt/.Os.Aaron Campbell
Out of the approximately 1450 man pages, only about 90 of them were wrong. Thanks to kwesterback@home.com for coming up with a script and patch to repair this. The patch also inserted a .Os macro in the few man pages that were missing one.
