Topic #: 3
A systems administrator created a user cron to run a scheduled database backup cronjob on the server at 1 a.m. every day. The following is the cronjob syntax:
0 1 * * * /bin/sh backup.sh
The backups, however, are not being created. When checking the crontab file, the administrator sees the following error:
/var/spool/cron/crontab/cron: Permission denied
Which of the following will permit the cronjob to execute?
Suggested Answer:
A
The error indicates that the cron user does not have permission to run the cronjob. Creating a cron.allow file and adding the user cron to it will allow that user to run cronjobs. The cron.allow file is a security feature that controls which users are allowed to use cron.
