| help | |
| dcron is a time-based job scheduler with anacron-like | |
| features. It works as a background daemon that parses | |
| individual crontab files and executes commands on behalf of | |
| the users in question. | |
| Upon installation, this package will enable a system level | |
| cron daemon with hourly, daily, weekly and monthly crontabs. | |
| However, it doesn't allow non root users to create their own | |
| crontab file. This is because /var/spool/cron/crontabs is | |
| non user writable. | |
| Typically, a crontab group is created on the system and | |
| users allowed to create crontab entries are added into this | |
| group, while crontab executable is owned by root:crontab | |
| with sgid bit enabled. | |
