From: gtaylor@jade.tufts.edu (Grant Taylor) Subject: working crond package uploaded to sunsite Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1993 06:05:31 GMT
I found that the crond in the vixie-cron package on sunsite & tsx was
sufficiently old that it no longer works, so i extracted working
binaries from the SLS and found REAL manpages elsewhere to get it
going on my system. Since this took me some time (finding a specific
binary in the SLS in not easy) I figured it would be good to share my
results:
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/cron.tar.z is essentially a
replacement for .../system/Daemons/vixie-cron.tar.Z, but with man
pages and in the usual sls tar format; tar xzvvpf it from / and all
will be well once /etc/crond is added to /etc/rc.
note that the man pages are gzipped for the new perl man.
