crown is a cron program for poor people having access to local accounts only on unix machines. Start it using nohup, i.e.

nohup crown &

Configuration

crown is controlled by the configuration file ${XDG_CONFIGDIR}/crown/config.yaml, e.g.

crontabs:
   - label: basic
     spec:  "* * * * *"
     command: go/bin/basic
     args: []

Usually, ${XDG_CONFIGDIR} is set to ${HOME}/.config/ in UNIX operating systems. In this file we enlist all crontabs.

Each crontab contains a label mentioned by label parameter which is used in log files to referring to this crontab.

spec parameter specifies the time crown should trigger its jobs. Their syntax is similar to time specifications for crontabs for unix cron. Cf. here for details.

The command parameter contains a file name for an executable which crown should execute. Relative file names relate to home directory. Here go/bin/basic relates to a binary ${HOME}/go/bin/basic.

The args parameter contains the command line parameters for the binary given in the command parameter.

Files

${HOME}/run/crown.pid contains the pid under which crown is running.

${HOME}/log/crown.log contains the log messages and the stderr and stdout outputs of all jobs triggered by crown.
