Installation guide

To use the crontab command, you must be the user that matches the file
name you want to act upon. For example, if you are user adm and you run
the crontab command, the action is performed on the
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/adm file.
To submit commands to the cron daemon to be run under adm authority:
1. Become user adm.
2. Enter the crontab command with the −l option to copy the
/usr/spool/cron/crontabs/adm file to a temporary file in your
home directory.
% crontab −l > temp_adm
3. Edit the temporary file and add the commands you want to run at a
specified time.
4. Enter the crontab command and specify the temporary file to submit
the commands to the cron daemon.
% crontab temp_adm
The /var/adm/cron/log file contains a history of the commands executed
by the cron daemon. This file should be monitored to prevent it from
becoming excessively large.
Refer to the crontab
(1) reference page for more information.
4.2 Identifying and Managing National Language Support
Directories and Files
Tru64 UNIX provides language-specific and country-specific information or
support for programs.
The support components that concern you most directly as system
administrator are the directories and files that reside at /usr/lib/nls.
An internationalized system presents information in a variety of ways. The
word "locale" refers to the language, territory, and code set requirements
that correspond to a particular part of the world. The system stores
locale-specific data in two kinds of files:
• Locale files, which contain month and day names, date formats,
monetary and numeric formats, valid yes/no strings, character
classification data, and collation sequences. These files reside in the
/usr/lib/nls/loc directory.
• Message catalogs, which contain translations of messages used by
programs. These files reside in the /usr/lib/nls/msg/
locale-name
directory.
