Because I need my Gentoo server to perform periodic tasks on my behalf I |
2 |
new I needed some implementation of "cron" - and after a brief |
3 |
investigation I settled on fcron as I liked the idea that I could give |
4 |
flexible scheduling in order to allow the OS to delay processing in the |
5 |
event of heavy system load. I've written a couple of my own |
6 |
administration tasks (to be run as my own non-root user) and these work |
7 |
fine. |

I've noticed the directories /etc/cron.daily; /etc/cron.hourly; |
10 |
/etc/cron.monthly etc. and therein a bunch of non-user-specific |
11 |
administration tasks... For example, in ./etc/cron.daily I've |
12 |
logrotate.cron and rulesdujour - but none of these appear to have run in |
13 |
the last month. Are thse system tasks supposed to be fired |
14 |
automatically by fcron? What would be the easiest way to get all my |
15 |
periodic system administration tasks defined in these directories to be |
16 |
fired automatically? Did I make a sensible choice with fcron? |
