This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ files, for example: $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day: 40 4 * * * /etc/cron/daily > /dev/null 2>&1 Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to work properly. config CONFIG_DEBUG_CROND_OPTION bool "Support debug option -d" depends on CONFIG_CROND default n help Support option -d to enter debug mode. config CONFIG_FEATURE_CROND_CALL_SENDMAIL bool "Using /usr/sbin/sendmail?" default n depends on CONFIG_CROND help Support calling /usr/sbin/sendmail for send cmd outputs. config CONFIG_CRONTAB bool "crontab" default n select CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID help Crontab manipulates the crontab for a particular user.

Do not poll for events. config CONFIG_DEVFSD_VERBOSE bool "Increases logging (and size)" default n depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD help Increases logging to stderr or syslog. config CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS bool " Use devfs names for all devices (obsolete)" default n help This tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of /dev/loop0. If your /dev directory has normal names instead of devfs names, you don't want this. This is obsolete and will be going away someday. Consider it deprecated. config CONFIG_EJECT bool "eject" default n help Used to eject cdroms. (defaults to /dev/cdrom) config CONFIG_LAST bool "last" default n select CONFIG_FEATURE_WTMP help 'last' displays a list of the last users that logged into the system. config CONFIG_LESS bool "less" default n help 'less' is a pager, meaning that it displays text files. It possesses a wide array of features, and is an improvement over 'more'. config CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_BRACKETS bool "Enable bracket searching" default y depends on CONFIG_LESS help This option adds the capability to search for matching left and right brackets, facilitating programming. config CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_FLAGS bool "Enable extra flags" default y depends on CONFIG_LESS help The extra flags provided do the following: The -M flag enables a more sophisticated status line. The -m flag enables a simpler status line with a percentage. config CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_FLAGCS bool "Enable flag changes" default n depends on CONFIG_LESS help This enables the ability to change command-line flags within less itself. config CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_MARKS bool "Enable marks" default n depends on CONFIG_LESS help Marks enable positions in a file to be stored for easy reference. config CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_REGEXP bool "Enable regular expressions" default n depends on CONFIG_LESS help Enable regular expressions, allowing complex file searches. config CONFIG_HDPARM bool "hdparm" default n help Get/Set hard drive parameters. Primarily intended for ATA drives. Adds about 13k (or around 30k if you enable the CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY option).... config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY bool "Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives" default y depends on CONFIG_HDPARM help Enables the -I and -i options to obtain detailed information directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA feature set. If no device name is specified, hdparm will read identify data from stdin. Enabling this option will add about 16k... config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF bool "Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)" default n depends on CONFIG_HDPARM help Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface. This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N. config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF bool "Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)" default n depends on CONFIG_HDPARM help Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface. This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N. config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DRIVE_RESET bool "perform device reset (DANGEROUS)" default n depends on CONFIG_HDPARM help Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset. This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N. config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF bool "tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)" default n depends on CONFIG_HDPARM help Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap, and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N. config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GETSET_DMA bool "get/set using_dma flag (DANGEROUS)" default n depends on CONFIG_HDPARM help Enables the 'hdparm -d' option to get/set using_dma flag. This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N. config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS bool "makedevs" default n help 'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with one command. . There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file. . 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple devices of a particluar type to be created per command. e.g. /dev/hda[0-9] Device properties are passed as command line arguments. . 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command. User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid. choice prompt "Choose makedevs behaviour" depends CONFIG_MAKEDEVS default CONFIG_FEATURE_MAKEDEVS_TABLE config CONFIG_FEATURE_MAKEDEVS_LEAF bool "leaf" config CONFIG_FEATURE_MAKEDEVS_TABLE bool "table" endchoice config CONFIG_MOUNTPOINT bool "mountpoint" default n help mountpoint checks if the directory is a mountpoint. config CONFIG_MT bool "mt" default n help mt is used to control tape devices. You can use the mt utility to advance or rewind a tape past a specified number of archive files on the tape. config CONFIG_RUNLEVEL bool "runlevel" default n help find the current and previous system runlevel. This applet uses utmp but does not rely on busybox supporing utmp on purpose. It is used by e.g. emdebian via /etc/init.d/rc. config CONFIG_RX bool "rx" default n help Receive files using the Xmodem protocol. config CONFIG_STRINGS bool "strings" default n help strings prints the printable character sequences for each file specified. config CONFIG_SETSID bool "setsid" default n help setsid runs a program in a new session config CONFIG_TASKSET bool "taskset" default n help Retrieve or set a processes's CPU affinity config CONFIG_TASKSET bool "taskset" default n help Retrieve or set a processes's CPU affinity (on linux) config CONFIG_TIME bool "time" default n help The time command runs the specified program with the given arguments. When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output giving timing statistics about this program run. config CONFIG_WATCHDOG bool "watchdog" default n help The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot. endmenu
