NAME

smcron - manage jobs in the crontab database

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sadm/bin/smcron subcommand [ auth_args] --

[subcommand_args]

DESCRIPTION

The smcron command manages jobs in the crontab(1) database.

subcommands

smcron subcommands are:

add Adds a job to the crontab(1) database. To add a job, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.user authorization. To add a job to another user's crontab file, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.admin authorization. delete Deletes a job from the crontab(1) database. To delete a job, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.user authorization. To delete a job

from another user's crontab file, the administra-

tor must have the solaris.jobs.admin authoriza-

tion. list Lists one or more jobs in the crontab(1) database. To list all jobs, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.user authorization. To list a job in another user's crontab file, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.admin authorization. No authorization is needed to list a user's own jobs. modify Modifies a job in the crontab(1) database. To modify a job, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.user authorization. To modify a job in another user's crontab file, the administrator must have the solaris.jobs.admin authorization. OPTIONS

The smcron authentication arguments, auth_args, are derived

from the smc(1M) arg set and are the same regardless of

which subcommand you use. The smcron command requires the

Solaris Management Console to be initialized for the command to succeed (see smc(1M)). After rebooting the Solaris

Management Console server, the first Solaris Management Con-

sole connection might time out, so you might need to retry

System Administration Commands smcron(1M)

the command.

The subcommand-specific options, subcommand_args, must come

after the auth_args and must be separated from them by the

-- option.

auth_args

The valid auth_args are -D, -H, -l, -p, -r, and -u; they are

all optional. If no auth_args are specified, certain

defaults will be assumed and the user may be prompted for

additional information, such as a password for authentica-

tion purposes. These letter options can also be specified by their equivalent option words preceded by a double dash. For

example, you can use either -D or --domain with the domain

argument.

-D | --domain 13;domain

Specifies the default domain that you want to manage.

smcron accepts only file for this option. file is also

the default value. The file default domain means that changes are local to

the server. Toolboxes can change the domain on a tool-

by-tool basis; this option specifies the domain for all

other tools.

-H | --hostname 13;host_name:port

Specifies the host_name and port to which you want to

connect. If you do not specify a port, the system con-

nects to the default port, 898. If you do not specify

host_name:port, the Solaris Management Console connects

to the local host on port 898. You may still have to choose a toolbox to load into the console. To override

this behavior, use the smc(1M) -B option, or set your

console preferences to load a "home toolbox" by default.

-l | --rolepassword 13;role_password

Specifies the password for the role_name. If you specify

a role_name but do not specify a role_password, the sys-

tem prompts you to supply a role_password. Passwords

specified on the command line can be seen by any user on the system, hence this option is considered insecure.

-p | --password 13;password

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 24 Mar 2003 2

System Administration Commands smcron(1M)

Specifies the password for the user_name. If you do not

specify a password, the system prompts you for one. Passwords specified on the command line can be seen by any user on the system, hence this option is considered insecure.

-r | --rolename 13;role_name

Specifies a role name for authentication. If you do not specify this option, no role is assumed.

-u | --username 13;user_name

Specifies the user name for authentication. If you do not specify this option, the user identity running the console process is assumed.

This option is required and must always follow the preceding options. If you do not enter the preceding

options, you must still enter the -- option.

subcommand_args

For the time-related subcommands described below, -m, -M,

-t, and -w, you can enter multiple arguments, separated only

by commas. smcron will construct crontab entries appropriate

for your arguments. See EXAMPLES.

Note: Descriptions and other arg options that contain white spaces must be enclosed in double quotes. o For subcommand add:

-c command Specifies the command that you

want to run.

-h (Optional) Displays the

command's usage statement.

-m day_of_month (Optional) Specifies the day of

the month you want to run the

job. Valid values are 1-31. If

you specify both -t and -m

options, the job executes one

day per month at the time speci-

fied by -t.

-M month (Optional) Specifies the month

that you want to run the job.

Valid values are 1-12. If you

specify both -t and -M options,

the job executes during the specified month at the time

name that is the owner of the job. If you do not specify this option, the user name specified

related options are specified

(-m, -M, or -w), the job exe-

cutes every day at the time

specified by -t. If you specify

both -t and -w options, the job

executes one day per week at the

time specified by -t. If you

specify both -t and -m options,

the job executes one day per month at the time specified by

-t. If you specify both -t and

-M options, the job executes

each day during the specified month at the time specified by

-t.

-w day_of_week (Optional) Specifies the day of

The timezone of the cron daemon sets the system-wide

timezone for cron entries. This, in turn, is by set by

default system-wide using /etc/default/init.

If some form of daylight savings or summer/winter time is in effect, then jobs scheduled during the switchover period could be executed once, twice, or not at all.
