ATCRONSH(ADM) UNIX System V
Name
atcronsh - at and cron administration utility
Syntax
/usr/lib/sysadm/atcronsh
Description
atcronsh is the screen interface invoked by the
sysadmsh(ADM) Jobs->Authorize selection. It is used to
specify users allowed to use the cron(C), at(C) and batch
(see at(C)) commands. It also allows the at(C) and batch
prototype files to be edited.
The program allows a system default for both cron(C) and
at(C) and batch to be given. The defaults can be:
⊕ none - No user authorized
⊕ allow - All users allowed to use the commands unless a
user is specifically denied
⊕ deny - All users denied to use the commands unless a user
is specifically authorised
The default setting decides whether an allow or deny file is
to be used (deny file means /usr/lib/cron/cron.deny or
at.deny, allow file means /usr/lib/cron/cron.deny or
at.deny).
For each user (unless the none system default has been
chosen), a specific authorization for both cron(C) and at(C)
and batch may be given. The allow and deny files are
interpreted as follows:
⊕ if an allow file exists, and the user name appears in
it, the user is allowed access.
⊕ if an allow file exists, access is denied
⊕ if a deny file exists and the user name appears in it,
access id denied
⊕ if a deny file exists, access is allowed
⊕ access is denied
