Re: Modifying Cron

[wbmccarty]

Hi Brian and all,

I'm unsure what risk concerns you. I use the following script to manage
the system crontab:

> editfiles:

>     {   /etc/crontab

>         AutoCreate
>         BeginGroupIfNoLineMatching '.*[ /]cfexecd( *.*|$)'
>             Append '0,30 * * * * /usr/sbin/cfexecd -F'
>         EndGroup
>         ResetSearch '1'
>         LocateLineMatching '.*[ /]cfexecd( *.*|$)'
>         BeginGroupIfNoMatch '^0,30 * * * * /usr/sbin/cfexecd -F$'
>             ReplaceLineWith '0,30 * * * * /usr/sbin/cfexecd -F'
>         EndGroup
>     }

Does this script entail some risk that I haven't considered?

Cheers,
