NAME
fcron.conf - configuration file for fcron and fcrontab
 
DESCRIPTION
This page describes the syntax used for the configuration file of 
fcrontab(1).
Blank lines, line beginning by a pound-sign (#) (which are considered
comments), leading blanks and tabs are ignored. Each line in a fcron.conf file
is of the form
    name = value
where the blanks around equal-sign (=) are ignored and optional. Trailing
blanks are also ignored.
The following names are recognized (default value in brackets) :
- 
- fcrontabs
- 
directory (/var/spool/fcron)
 Fcron spool directory.
- pidfile
- 
file-path (/var/run/fcron.pid)
 Location of fcron pid file (needed by fcrontab to work properly).
- fcronallow
- 
file-path (/etc/fcron.allow)
 Location of fcron.allow file.
- fcrondeny
- 
file-path (/etc/fcron.deny)
 Location of fcron.deny file.
- shell
- 
file-path (/bin/sh)
 Location of default shell called by fcron when running a job.
- sendmail
- 
file-path (/usr/lib/sendmail)
 Location of mailer program called by fcron to send job output.
- editor
- 
file-path (/bin/vi)
 Location of default editor used when invoking "fcrontab -e".
 
File-paths and directories are complete and absolute (i.e. beginning by a "/").
To run several instances of fcron simultaneously on the same system, you must
use a different configuration file for each instance. Each instance must
have a different
fcrontabs and pidfile.
Then, use fcron(8)'s command line option
-c to select which config file (so which instance) you refer to.
