SYNOPSIS

[
-u user
]
file
bcrontab
[
-u user
] {
-l
|
-r
|

}
DESCRIPTION
bcrontab
interfaces with the
bcron-spool
daemon to manage crontab files in the privileged spool directory.
OPTIONS
- -u user
-
Tell
bcron-spool
that we are acting on behalf of the named user.
bcron-spool
will only accept the username if
bcrontab
is running as either root or the same user ID as the named user.
- -l
-
List the cronab crontab to standard output.
- -r
-
Remove the user's crontab.
- -e
-
Edit the current crontab.
ENVIRONMENT
- VISUAL
-
If this is set, it is used as the editor to invoke to edit a crontab.
- EDITOR
-
If
$VISUAL
is not set and this is, it is used as the editor to invoke to edit a
crontab. If neither are set,
/bin/vi
is used.
- BCRON_SOCKET
-
The path to the named socket used to communicate with
bcron-spool.
Defaults to
/var/run/bcron-spool.
- LOGNAME
-
- USER
-
These two variables are used, in order, to determine the user name
invoking the program. One must be set if the
-u
option is not used.
FILES
bcrontab
tries to writes a temporary file into the current directory, and then
into
/tmp
if that fails, in order to edit the current crontab.
