Allow the new user gnats access to cron and at. To
do this, add the name gnats to the files ‘cron.allow’ and
‘at.allow’, which normally reside in the directory
‘/var/spool/cron’. If these files do not exist, make sure
gnats does not appear in either of the files ‘cron.deny’
and ‘at.deny’ (in the same directory). If you changed the name
of the GNATS user during configure, remember to substitute as
appropriate in the previous steps.
Create a crontab entry that periodically runs the program
queue-pr with the ‘--run’ option
(see section queue-pr). For example, to run
‘queue-pr --run’ every ten minutes, create a file called
‘.mycron’ in the home directory of the user gnats which
contains the line:
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * exec-prefix/libexec/gnats/queue-pr --run |
(Specify the full path name for queue-pr.) Then run
crontab .mycron |
See the man pages for cron and crontab for details
on using cron.
