atcronsh(ADM)


atcronsh -- at and cron administration utility

Syntax

/usr/lib/sysadm/atcronsh

Description

atcronsh is the screen interface invoked by the Cron Manager. It is used to specify users allowed to use the cron(C), at(C) and batch (see at) commands. It also allows the at and batch prototype files to be edited.

The program allows a system default for cron , at and batch to be given. The defaults can be:


none
no user authorized

allow
all users allowed to use the commands unless a user is specifically denied

deny
all users denied to use the commands unless a user is specifically authorized
The default setting decides whether an allow or deny file is to be used (deny file means /usr/lib/cron/cron.deny or at.deny, allow file means /usr/lib/cron/cron.allow or at.allow).

For each user (unless the none system default has been chosen), a specific authorization for cron, at and batch may be given. The allow and deny files are interpreted as follows:

Limitations

Invoking atcronsh is not recommended; use the Cron Manager.

Files

/usr/lib/cron/cron.allow
