| 6 | <para>After the files are installed, the make install script enters into a
|
|---|
| 7 | configuration routine. The first test will be for a group named fcron. If
|
|---|
| 8 | it does not exist, you will be given the command line that the script proposes
|
|---|
| 9 | to run and a prompt for a 'y' or 'n'. This is repeated to create a user named
|
|---|
| 10 | fcron and to install a script in the init.d directory with the appropriate
|
|---|
| 11 | symbolic links in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5. The final configuation step is to
|
|---|
| 12 | stop any current fcron processes and start the new fcron. A yes here will stop
|
|---|
| 13 | current fcron processes but will fail to start new fcron. The following
|
|---|
| 14 | commands will correct this:</para>
