The Cron table ability of !AntUtils allows specified commands to be automatically carried
out at various times of the day, assuming !AntUtils is loaded.
Currently recognised commands are:-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beep - Perform a system beep (VDU 7) - mainly for testing purposes!
Debatch xx - Issue a Pluto (if loaded) debatch command (where xx="mail", "news" or "both")
Fetch xx - Issue a fetch command (where xx="mail", "news" or "both")
InetLoad - Load !InetSuite (requires !InetSuite to have been 'seen' by the filer.
InetQuit - Quit the !InetSuite (requires InetLoad to have been previously given)
InetDial - Connect to your Internet provider
InetDiss - Disconnect and hangup (if previously connected)
Oscli xx - Pass parameter xx to the CLI.
Quit [xx] - Quit named task xx (optional). If no named task is given, AntUtils
will quit itself - WARNING!! This should be the last command as, obviously,
!AntUtils will quit and thus ignore any further commands.
Reset - Reset the machine (use with care!)
Shutdown - Force a Shutdown of the machine (use with care!)
Swap - Swap cron files "Cron" and "Cron2" around. Take note that !AntUtils will
need reloading in order to reset the cron table pointer. This is handy
when used in conjunction with Reset and !AntUtils in the boot sequence
to perhaps do two automatic mail fetches per day.
URL xx - Launch URL xx (if Fresco is loaded).
Also, make sure that all times are in consecutive order!
If you would like any help, tips or example script files please feel free to contact me.
