4.12. Bluetooth
Bluetooth Service On Demand
In order to support Bluetooth devices, the Bluetooth background service was started by default in
previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In this release, the Bluetooth service is started on
demand when needed and automatically stops 30 seconds after the use of the device has stopped.
This reduces overall initial startup time and resource consumption.
4.13. Cron
Vixie cron and Cronie
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 includes the cronie package as a replacement for vixie-cron. The main
difference between these packages is how the regular jobs (daily, weekly, monthly) are done. Cronie
uses the /etc/anacrontab file, which by default looks like the following:
# the maximal random delay added to the base delay of the jobs
RANDOM_DELAY=45
# the jobs will be started during the following hours only
START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22
# period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command
1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7 25 cron.weekly nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
These regular jobs will be executed once a day in the 03:00-22:00 time interval, including a random
delay. For example, cron.daily will have a 5 minute forced delay plus a random delay of 0-45 minutes.
You could also run jobs with no delays, between 4 and 5:
RANDOM_DELAY=0 # or don't use this option at all
START_HOURS_RANGE=4-5
# period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command
1 0 cron.daily nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7 0 cron.weekly nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 0 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
Features of cronie include:
• Random delay for starting the job in /etc/anacrontab.
• Time range of regular jobs can be defined in /etc/anacrontab.
• Each cron table can have its own defined time zone with the CRON_TZ variable.
• By default, the cron daemon checks for changes in tables with inotify.
For further details about cronie and cronie-anacron, please refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Deployment Guide.
