| - | === Policy === | ||
| - | |||
| - | The cron policy is to restrict access to creating cron jobs to user root. Any cron jobs that need to be run are placed as shell scripts into one of these directories: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * ''/etc/cron.hourly'' | ||
| - | * ''/etc/cron.daily'' | ||
| - | * ''/etc/cron.weekly'' | ||
| - | * ''/etc/cron.monthly'' | ||
| - | |||
| - | The shell scripts can use ''su'' to switch to a user account as needed and execute a job. | ||
| - | |||
| - | An example command would be: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code>su -l -c "/home/user/bin/foo.sh --bar" user</code> | ||
