It runs alongside the system's standard crond. It runs alongside the system's standard crond. The crontabs of all nodes are stored in any database supported by LibSDB. This program is known to work on Linux, HP-UX and Solaris. Other Unixes should work as well; editing the Makefile may be necessary.Installation:Create a group called ucron and a user called ucron. The user shouldhave /opt/ucron as home directory and /opt/ucron/myshell as shell.Unfortunately those don't exist until we install ucron, so for now: vi /etc/group useradd -g ucronNo configuration script, just type: make make installBy default the programs are installed into /opt/ucron. This canbe changed in the Makefile or by typing (example): make install PREFIX=/usr/local BINDIR=/usr/local/binMake sure you understand what you break before attempting torelocate anything.Now we can fix the user created earlier: usermod -d /opt/ucron -s /opt/ucron/myshell ucronFinally fix your start scripts so ucrond will run automatically.Highly system specific, but for Slackware Linux stick this line in/etc/rc.d/rc.local: /opt/ucron/ucrondFor Solaris, put this script in /etc/init.d/ucron: #!/bin/sh case "$1" in start ) /opt/ucron/ucrond ;; stop ) pkill ucrond ;; * ) echo $0 start | stop ;; esacand link it to /etc/rc0.d/K01ucron and /etc/rc2.d/S99ucron.What's New in This Release:· Updated Makefile.
