Tip 2: How to Start the Crones

3

Install any cron implementation froman accessible source (a repository on the disk with the OS distribution, the developer's online distribution repository, etc.).

Configure the cron if necessary. Edit the files / etc / crontab, /etc/cron.allow, /etc/cron.deny. You can read about the format of information representation in them in the man or info documentation. If this is necessary (it was not implemented during the installation of cron), place the initialization script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. Create links to it with the proper names in the script directories for each level of loading (usually the directories /etc/rc.d/rc1.d-/etc/rc.d/rc6.d).
