Using cron.d in Arch
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Till now I organized my non-crontab cron-jobs by cron.d in Debian-LAMP environment.
My cron-jobs use me to upgrade CMSs containing my web applications.
Here's how I do it from the beginning:
#!/bin/bash
cat <<-EOF > /etc/cron.daily/cron_daily
#!/bin/bash
for dir in $drt/*/; do
if pushd "$dir"; then
rws
composer update drupal/* webflo/drupal-core-require-dev --with-dependencies
drush updatedb
drush cache:rebuild
rws
popd
fi
done 2> $HOME/myErrors
EOF
cat <<-EOF > /etc/cron.weekly/cron_weekly
#!/bin/bash
find "$drt" -path "*/cache/*" -type f -delete
certbot renew -q
EOF
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily,.weekly
My question
I consider to start using Arch instead Debian.
I checked the Arch cron documentation about using cron.d but it's not clear to me if cron.d is a native part of Arch and if not, how to install it.
Is cron.d a part of Arch and if not, how to install it?
