Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
$ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
40 4 * * * /etc/cron/daily > /dev/null 2>&1

'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
one command.

There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
2006-01-25 05:38:53 +05:30

'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
2007-01-24 13:54:43 +05:30
Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
.
'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
2006-03-24 20:00:05 +05:30
a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
2007-01-24 13:54:43 +05:30
User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that

It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
(in particular when a CPU boundprocess is running) it can
significantly speed up system startup.
