[gentoo-user] cron fetchnews

[gentoo-user] cron fetchnews

[THUFIR HAWAT]

I've read abit about cron, then I was thinking about doing it myself,
when I came across this very neat file :)

Just to confirm, please, all I do is uncomment line 10 and every hour
fetchnews will run as a daemon?  Neat-o!


thufir@localhost ~ $
thufir@localhost ~ $ cat -n /etc/cron.hourly/fetchnews
     1  #!/bin/sh
     2  #
     3  # Uncomment the following if you want to regularly
     4  # fetch new messages from your news server.
     5  #
     6  #
     7  # This is part of the leafnode package.
     8  #
     9
    10  #/usr/sbin/fetchnews
thufir@localhost ~ $ date
Tue Mar 28 22:07:10 IST 2006
thufir@localhost ~ $


thanks,

Thufir
