# crontroll

A cronjob controller written in bash. Treat cronjobs similar to services and enable or disable them from the command line.

# Examples

```

$ crontroll status updatedb

enabled: updatedb; 0 3 * * * updatedb -U ~/drive

$ crontroll disable updatedb

$ crontroll status updatedb

disabled: updatedb; 0 3 * * * updatedb -U ~/drive

$ crontroll enable updatedb

$

```

# Setting up cronjobs

Instead of writing directly to your crontab file, create a file per cronjob in `~/.cron` (or `$CRONDIR`, if set).

## Example

```

~/.cron $ cat updatedb

0 3 * * * updatedb -U ~/drive

```

Then run `crontroll reload` to enable your new cronjob.

## Logging

Each cronjob will create a logfile at `~/.logs/cronjobs/`. This can be disabled if you create a file called ~/.cron/`.-nolog` for each cronjob you wish to disable logging for. You can also change the log dir by setting `$CRONLOGDIR`
