Structbio cron.magic system README

This file details the Structbio cron.magic system created by Brandon D. Valentine.

The Structbio cron.magic system will allow you to add cronjobs to all the systems in the structbio NIS domain without having to login to each system. The system is located in /sb/admin/cron and all of its configuration and log files reside there. This system will allow you to create both hourly and daily cron jobs on a system-wide basis as well as an operating system specific basis.

The following files control cron.magic's behavior:

• cron.magic - this is the actual script which launches the other cronjobs, the only user-configurable parameter in this file is $dailytime which defines the time each day the daily cronjobs are run
• hourly.all - hourly system-wide cronjobs
• hourly.OS_NAME - i.e. IRIX or Linux, hourly OS specific cronjobs
• daily.all - daily system-wide cronjobs
• daily.OS_NAME - daily OS specific cronjobs
