NAME

6       crontabs - configuration and scripts for running periodical jobs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       run-parts <directory>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Crontabs  is  historical  name for run-parts script and system crontab.
13       Run-parts runs all executables in the specified directory.  The  execu‐
14       tion of files can be allowed or denied by creating file jobs.allow
15        or  jobs.deny  which  worked similar as other allow/deny config files.
16       The file must be created in the specified directory.
17
18       Historically the crontab file contained configuration which called run-
19       parts  on  files in cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} directories. These jobs
20       are now run indirectly through anacron  to  prevent  conflicts  between
21       cron  and  anacron.  That means the anacron package has to be installed
22       if the jobs in these  directories  should  be  running.  Refer  to  the
23       anacron(8) how to limit the time of day of the job execution.
24

EXAMPLE

26       /etc/cron.daily/jobs.deny  could  contain  for  example 0logwatch which
27       forbid execution of this script.
