I just want to share my system-wide fcrontab: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
$ sudo fcrontab -l systab |
| 22 |
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
!nice(15) |
| 25 |
!noticenotrun(false) |
| 26 |
!serial(true) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
%hourly 0-30 run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly |
| 29 |
%daily * * run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily |
| 30 |
%weekly * * run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly |
| 31 |
%monthly * * * run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I use fcron's capabilities to execute the files in |
| 34 |
/etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/ once within each period. |
