15 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CROND
18 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID
20 Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
21 files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
22 This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
23 format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
24 $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
25 # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
26 40 4 * * * /etc/cron/daily > /dev/null 2>&1
27 Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to

51 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD
55 Provides compatibility with old device names on a devfs systems.
56 You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled.

58 "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
59 "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",
60 "MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".
62 But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!
64 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD_MODLOAD
65 bool "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"
67 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD
69 This actually doesn't work with busybox modutils but needs the real modutils.
71 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD_FG_NP
72 bool "Enables the -fg and -np options"
74 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD
76 -fg Run the daemon in the foreground.
77 -np Exit after parsing the configuration file. Do not poll for events.
79 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD_VERBOSE
80 bool "Increases logging (and size)"
82 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD
84 Increases logging to stderr or syslog.
86 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LAST

98 drives. Adds about 13k (or around 30k if you enable the
99 BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY option)....
101 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY
102 bool " Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
104 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HDPARM
106 Enables the -I and -Istdin options to obtain detailed information
107 directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
108 feature set. Enabling this option will add about 16k...
110 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF
111 bool " Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
113 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HDPARM
115 Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface.
116 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
118 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF
119 bool " Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
121 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HDPARM
123 Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface.

126 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DRIVE_RESET
127 bool " perform device reset (DANGEROUS)"
129 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HDPARM
131 Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset.

137 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HDPARM
139 Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
140 and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous
141 stuff, so you should probably say N.
143 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GETSET_DMA

187 giving timing statistics about this program run.
189 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_WATCHDOG
193 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
194 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
195 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
196 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
197 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
198 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
