+ | ====== cronie ====== | ||
+ | cronie is a cron job daemon that is being phased in as a replacement for fcron. The reason for the change is that [[fcron]] will often spawn processes that turn into zombies (history is vague). | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Configuration === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Run ''crontab /etc/crontab'' to set the default cron jobs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Syntax === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unlike other cron daemons, the crontab line must not have the user in it. Anything after the timing sequence will be executed. | ||
