- 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.
