Hello,
I'm want to keep the cron files between two 5.3-STABLE computers
"synchronized". From my reading on cron(8), crontab(1), and crontab(5),
accomplishing this might be a little convoluted.
Would something like this work?
computer-A:
root# crontab -u joeuser -l > /usr/home/joeuser/cron
get files from computer-A to computer-B
computer-B:
root# crontab -u joeuser /usr/home/joeuser/cron
As an alternative, would anyone suggest a cron replacement, like mcron?
As I read it, mcron stores it's files in a users ~/.cron directory.
Thereby eliminating the dump and read of each user's cron.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.
