Changes by Holger Teutsch c/o Degussa AG Abt. IW-AC Weissfrauenstr. 9 6000 Frankfurt 11 - improved internal structure (e.g. get rid of arrays with fixed size) - improved delivery of batch logs per mail, cuts number of concurrently active batch jobs by half - enhanced security, cron checks ownership and protection of files prior to submit - cluster failover, you can start several crons in a cluster but only one is active. If this one fails another one takes over. 20-Jan-1991 From: CRDGW2::CRDGW2::MRGATE::"SMTP::KSUVAX1.CIS.KSU.EDU::MCCALL!NEWSMGR" 26-JUL-1990 21:12:49.37 To: MRGATE::"ARISIA::EVERHART" CC: Subj: vaxC version of cron for vms Received: by crdgw1.ge.com (5.57/GE 1.70) id AA28870; Thu, 26 Jul 90 14:40:46 EDT Resent-From: mccall!newsmgr@ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu Return-Path: mccall!newsmgr@ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu Received: from harris.cis.ksu.edu by DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU; Thu, 26 Jul 90 14:11 EST Received: from ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu by harris.cis.ksu.edu (5.58/SWH-2.03); id AA03276; Thu, 26 Jul 90 13:11:40 CDT Received: by ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu (5.59++/CIS1.1) id AA05241; Thu, 26 Jul 90 13:11:36 CDT Date: 26 Jul 90 11:08:35 GMT From: lrb@rrivax.rri.uwo.ca Sender: news@RIA.CCS.UWO.CA Subject: vaxC version of cron for vms To: vmsnet@DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU Message-Id: <704@ria.ccs.uwo.ca> Resent-Date: Thu, 26 Jul 90 14:15 EST Resent-To: VMSNET-LIST@DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU Resent-Message-Id: <5BF5AC29F94F006638@DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU> Organization: Robarts Research Institute -- London Canada Earth X-Envelope-To: everhart%arisia.decnet@CRDGW1.GE.COM X-Vms-To: vmsnet@DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU following is a distribution for cron under C. there are two executables, clontab.exe is a clone of unix crontab and mycron.exe is my version of unix cron. the distribution is titled vaxc cron part X of N i can't be bothered with vms share, so each part is as follows ============ line of equals foo file name ------------ line of hypens file ============ line of equals part 1 INSTALL.DOC ! brief installation guide CLONTAB_DOC.COM ! user document ('@' it, do not type it) part 2 CLONTAB.C ! source MYCRON.C ! source MYCRON.H ! header needed by both source part 3 STARTMYCRON.COM ! starts up mycron daemon STARTUP.COM ! starts up the startmycron script MAILRESULTS.COM ! send results to the user part 4 CLONTAB.ENT ! sample entry ENTRIES. ! priming entries file (contains nullman) NULLMAN. ! dummy user -- needed to handle vaxc _________________________________ Lance R.
