Crond
Crond is a service provided by the console server that allows automatic, periodically-run custom-
made scripts. It replaces the need to run commands manually.
The crond daemon configuration is divided in three parts.
• /etc/crontab_files - The name of this file cannot be changed and it must point only to one file.
• Source file - Holds information about frequency of cron jobs and the files that should be
executed. It may have any name, since it is pointed out by the /etc/crontab_files.
• Script files - These are the script files that are scheduled and are pointed by the source file
explained previously.
The following parameters are created in the /etc/crontab_files file.
