Run scripts or jobs on a periodic basis
|
|
=======================================
|
|
Any scripts or jobs added to the minutely, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly
|
|
directories will be run on a scheduled basis (frequency is as indicated by the
|
|
name of the directory) using run-parts.
|
|
|
|
run-parts ignores any files that are hidden or dotfiles (.*) or backup
|
|
files (*~ or *,) or named *.{rpmsave,rpmorig,rpmnew,swp,cfsaved}
|
|
|
|
The presence of two specially named files jobs.deny and jobs.allow controls
|
|
how run-parts executes your scripts/jobs.
|
|
jobs.deny ===> Prevents specific scripts or jobs from being executed.
|
|
jobs.allow ===> Only execute the named scripts or jobs (all other/non-named
|
|
scripts that exist in this directory are ignored).
|
|
|
|
The principles of jobs.deny and jobs.allow are the same as those of cron.deny
|
|
and cron.allow and are described in detail at:
|
|
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-Automating_System_Tasks.html#s2-autotasks-cron-access
|
|
|
|
See: man crontab or above link for more details and see the the weekly/
|
|
directory for an example.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE NOTE: The Cron cartridge must be installed in order to run the configured jobs.
