# Cronie
|

|

The crontab program might have various names, like `cronie` or `crond`.
|
||||
The `cronie` program is also known as `crond`.

||||
|

Make a file for your crontab, like this:
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Show your current crontab:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo '39 */3 * * * /usr/bin/updatedb' > "$USER".cron
|
||||
crontab -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can put this in a file and edit it:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
crontab -l > $filename
|
||||
echo '39 3 */3 * * /bin/tar czf /tmp/etc_backup.tgz /etc/' >> $filename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then apply that crontab:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
crontab "$USER".cron
|
||||
rm "$USER".cron
|
||||
crontab $filename
|
||||
rm $filename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `cron` program will check your syntax before adding the tab.
|
||||
|
||||
Your crontab file sits somewhere in `/var/spool/`.
|
||||
Probably in `/var/spool/cron`.
|
||||
|
||||
Check how your tab currently looks:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
crontab -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

`0 15 * * 7`
|

Here 'Sunday' is indicated by "7", and '3pm' is 'the 15th hour'.

### Full Paths
|
||||
### Variables
|
||||
|
||||
`cronie` doesn't know where you live, so to put something in your `$HOME` directory, you have to tell it:
|
||||
|
||||
Executing something requires the full path to where it is, so you cannot simply use `apt update -y`, because cron does not know where `apt` is.
|
||||
Instead, find out where it is:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
type -P apt
|
||||
echo "HOME=$HOME" > $filename
|
||||
crontab -l >> $filename
|
||||
crontab $filename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`/usr/bin/apt`
|
||||
`cronie` doesn't know where anything lives, including programs.
|
||||
You can give it your usual `$PATH` variable like this:
|
||||
|
||||
Then put that into the crontab:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo crontab -e
|
||||
echo $PATH > $filename
|
||||
crontab -l >> $filename
|
||||
crontab $filename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> 40 */3 * * * /usr/bin/apt update -y
|
||||
Now instead of doing this
|
||||
|
||||
This will run `apt update -y` as root every 3 hours, at 40 minutes past the hour, e.g. 00:40, 03:40, 06:40.
|
||||
`40 */3 * * * /usr/bin/du -sh $HOME/* | sort -h > $HOME/sum.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
## Directories
|
||||
You can simply do this:
|
||||
|
||||
`40 */3 * * * du -sh $HOME/* | sort -h > $HOME/sum.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
## Run as Root
|
||||
|
||||
You can execute a script as root by putting it into a directory, instead of in the tab.
|
||||
Look at the available cron directories:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls /etc/cron.\*
|
||||
ls -d /etc/cron.*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make a script which runs daily:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
f=apt_update.sh
|
||||
echo '#!/bin/bash' > $f
|
||||
echo 'apt update --yes' >> $f
|
||||
chmod +x $f
|
||||
sudo mv $f /etc/cron.daily/
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Add your `$HOME` to crontab to use scripts.
|
||||
First add `HOME=/home/$USER`, then you can use syntax like this:
|
||||
|
||||
0 * * * * $HOME/.scripts/myScript.sh
|
||||
|
||||
*Remember to test the script by executing that line first*:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$HOME/.scripts/myScript.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can also add your regular path to your crontab as a variable (see example below).
|
||||
If you're using vim as the editor, just run this at the top of your crontab:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
:r!echo PATH=$PATH
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### `date` Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Cron doesn't understand the `%` sign, so if you want to use `date +%R`, then it should be escaped with a backslash: `date +\%R`.
|
||||
|
||||
### File Location
|
||||
|
||||
The crontab files are in `/var/spool/cron/`, so you can backup or restore them.
|
||||
|
||||
# Example
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
HOME=/home/user
|
||||
PATH=/usr/condabin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/user/.local/bin:/home/user/.scripts/:/home/user/.local/bin:/home/user/.scripts/
|
||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||

This utility is largely useless, as it can only identify people by their email.
|
||||
So if someone has multiple GPG keys associated with one email, the tool will not work.
|
||||
|
||||
Worse than not working, it may 'suddenly' stop working as you try to transfer a secret to someone, who then discovers that `git-secret` requires them to mess about with their GPG keyring in order to use the repository.
|
||||
A broken tool is better than a tool which will break soon.
