CronDaemon to Execute Scheduled
Commands
Start Cron from the directory /etc/rc.d/rc. local. It will return immediately, so you don’t need to start it
with ‘&’ to run in the background.
The Cron daemon will search /etc/cron.d/crontab for crontab files, which are named after accounts in
/etc/passwd.
Cron wakes up every minute, and checks each command to see if it should be run in that minute. Modify
the file /etc/cron.d/crontab to set up your scheduled applications. Crontab files have the following
format:
mm
h
dom
mon
dow
user
command
min
hour
date
month
week
user
command
0-59
0-23
1-31
1-12
0-6 (0 is Sunday)
