Cron & crontab. |
|
Cron is a daemon which is run every minute and has the job of running other programs at set times.
These times are set by crontab files (cron tables). The system has a crontab and also users can run their
own. Use crontab -e to edit the crontab for the current user. cron may take its name from Cronos, the ancient Greek god of time or maybe chronometer, an accurate clock. Or something completely different, this is UNIX after all! See also the "at" command for running a one-shot command at a specific time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
