Fcron is a periodical command scheduler which aims at replacing
|
|
Vixie Cron and Anacron.
|
|
|
|
Fcron works well on systems that are not continuously running such
|
|
as laptops or desktops and it is loaded with features.
|
|
|
|
When a machine is powered on, Fcron can start jobs that were
|
|
skipped while the machine was powered off.
|
|
|
|
Installation notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
Group fcron and user fcron must exist before installation.
|
|
So as root do this:
|
|
groupadd -g 289 fcron
|
|
useradd -u 289 -g fcron -d /var/spool/fcron -M -s /bin/false fcron
|
|
|
|
Post Installation notes:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
The Fcron installation creates a startup file called /etc/rc.d/rc.fcron
|
|
|
|
To run this startup file automatically at system startup time,
|
|
add an entry to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
|
|
|
|
# start fcron as a replacement for cron
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fcron ]; then
|
|
. /etc/rc.d/rc.fcron start
|
|
fi
