The at(1) code is now more tightly integrated into the cron codebase.
|
|
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

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

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.

hand editing to make comments line up correctly. Another pass is forthcoming that handles the cases that could not be done automatically.

Save the GMT offset in a global so cron_sleep can use it. This means
the offset can only change in set_time() which is really what we want.
|
|
(since time() does not change during a DST switch). This makes cron
correctly detect DST changes. It does not fix the problem of wildcard
jobs running multiple times. Also, don't rely on tm_gmtoff since that
is non-standard (but use it when we have it).

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