• You may find a new RPM, but you do not know what it does. To find information about it, use the
following command:
rpm -qip crontabs-1.10-7.noarch.rpm
The output would be similar to the following:
Name : crontabs
Version : 1.10
Release : 7
Install Date: (not installed)
Group : System Environment/Base
Size : 1004
Signature : DSA/SHA1, Wed 05 Jan 2005 06:05:25 PM EST, Key ID 219180cddb42a60e
Packager : Red Hat, Inc <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla>
Summary : Root crontab files used to schedule the execution of programs.
Description :
The crontabs package contains root crontab files. Crontab is the
program used to install, uninstall, or list the tables used to drive the
cron daemon. The cron daemon checks the crontab files to see when
particular commands are scheduled to be executed. If commands are
scheduled, then it executes them.
• Perhaps you now want to see what files the crontabs RPM installs. You would enter the following:
rpm -qlp crontabs-1.10-5.noarch.rpm
The output is similar to the following:
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.monthly
