University of California at Berkeley Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences Instructional Support Group Nov 1, 2016 /share/b/pub/crontab.help CONTENTS Cron access for CS9 and instructors Crontab Cron access for CS9 and instructors ----------------------------------- We have enabled cron jobs for CS9E student accounts and for the staff accounts of several classes on ward.cs.berkeley.edu. (The service was formerly on torus.cs.berkeley.edu, which has been retired.) Please ask inst@eecs.berkeley.edu if you need access to this service. Crontab ------- Cron on UNIX allows users to execute unattended commands at specified dates and times. The commands are read from a user's file that is edited by the command 'crontab -e'. Users are allowed to use this service if they are listed in the /etc/cron.allow (on Ubuntu Linux). The syntax for the crontab entries can be found via 'man crontab'.
