Kris's build of scron

My build of scron, a simple cron daemon.

About

scron is a minimal cron daemon designed to be simple and secure. It replaces the traditional cron daemon with a cleaner, more auditable implementation.

Features

  • Simple: Minimal codebase, easy to understand and audit
  • Secure: Runs with minimal privileges
  • Compatible: Standard crontab format support
  • Lightweight: No dependencies beyond libc

Usage

# Start the daemon
scron

# Crontab location
~/.config/scron/crontab
# or
/etc/crontab

Crontab Format

# min hour day month weekday command
0    *    *   *     *       /path/to/script
*/5  *    *   *     *       every-five-minutes.sh
0    0    *   *     *       daily-midnight.sh
