|
|
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.
