- Vixie's Cron V2.1c
- Dec 16, 1993
-
- This is a version of 'cron' that is known to run on BSD 4.[23] systems. It
- is functionally based on the SysV cron, which means that each user can have
- their own crontab file (all crontab files are stored in a read-protected
- directory, usually /var/cron/tabs). No direct support is provided for
- 'at'; you can continue to run 'atrun' from the crontab as you have been
- doing. If you don't have atrun (i.e., System V) you are in trouble.
-
- A messages is logged each time a command is executed; also, the files
- "allow" and "deny" in /var/cron can be used to control access to the
- "crontab" command (which installs crontabs). It hasn't been tested on
- SysV, except for Linux.
-
- The security holes, (crontab reading all files and the MAILTO variable being
- parsed) have been fixed.
