Name two files of crontab command.

Answer»

cron.deny and cron.allow are two FILES in the /etc/cron.d directory that controls access to the crontab COMMAND. Crontab command tasks such as creating, editing, displaying, or removing crontab files are relegated to specific users through these files. Both files usually consist of a list of user NAMES, one user name per line. Together, these access control files perform the following functions:

  • cron.allow decides which users are allowed to run the crontab command.
  • cron.deny decides which users are DENIED from using the crontab command.
  • When cron.allow or cron.deny doesn't EXIST, superuser privileges are required to run it.
