From 8a995caf00125938bd99b949972f3a7755cc9058 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: guido Date: Sat, 22 Jan 1994 20:44:14 +0000 Subject: This is Vixie cron 3.0. This version fixes all known security bugs. Further it implements crontab -e. I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD. NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING: 1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron *EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in /etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's BSD/386 as far as I know (they provided the patches for it anyway) 2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy in /etc from /usr/src/etc. 'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab. 3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab. The default logfile file is the same as before: syslog.conf:cron.* /var/cron/log -Guido --- etc/syslog.conf | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'etc/syslog.conf') diff --git a/etc/syslog.conf b/etc/syslog.conf index 56f1576..73d56b7 100644 --- a/etc/syslog.conf +++ b/etc/syslog.conf @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs +cron.* /var/cron/log *.err root *.notice;auth.debug root *.alert root -- cgit v1.1
