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
30 config CONFIG_FEATURE_CROND_CALL_SENDMAIL
31 bool " Using /usr/sbin/sendmail?"
33 depends on CONFIG_CROND
35 Support calling /usr/sbin/sendmail for send cmd outputs.

42 Crontab manipulates the crontab for a particular user. Only
43 the superuser may specify a different user and/or crontab directory.
49 Dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
56 Provides compatibility with old device names on a devfs systems.
57 You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled.
58 The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
59 "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
60 "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",
61 "MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".
63 But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!
65 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_MODLOAD
66 bool "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"
68 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
70 This actually doesn't work with busybox modutils but needs the real modutils.
72 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_FG_NP
73 bool "Enables the -fg and -np options"
75 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
77 -fg Run the daemon in the foreground.
78 -np Exit after parsing the configuration file. Do not poll for events.
80 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_VERBOSE
81 bool "Increases logging (and size)"
83 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
85 Increases logging to stderr or syslog.
91 Used to eject cdroms. (defaults to /dev/cdrom)
96 select CONFIG_FEATURE_U_W_TMP
98 'last' displays a list of the last users that logged into the system.
104 Get/Set hard drive parameters. Primarily intended for ATA
105 drives. Adds about 13k (or around 30k if you enable the
106 CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY option)....
108 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY
109 bool " Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
111 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
113 Enables the -I and -Istdin options to obtain detailed information
114 directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
115 feature set. Enabling this option will add about 16k...
117 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF
118 bool " Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
120 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
122 Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface.
123 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
125 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF
126 bool " Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
128 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
130 Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface.
131 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
133 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DRIVE_RESET
134 bool " perform device reset (DANGEROUS)"
136 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
138 Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset.
139 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
141 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF
142 bool " tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)"
144 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
146 Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
147 and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous
148 stuff, so you should probably say N.
150 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GETSET_DMA
151 bool " get/set using_dma flag (DANGEROUS)"
153 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
155 Enables the 'hdparm -d' option to get/set using_dma flag.
156 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
158 config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS
162 'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
165 There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
166 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
168 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
169 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
171 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
173 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
174 a batch of unrelated devices to be makde with one command.
175 User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.
178 prompt "Choose makedevs behaviour"

193 mt is used to control tape devices. You can use the mt utility
194 to advance or rewind a tape past a specified number of archive
201 Receive files using the Xmodem protocol.
203 config CONFIG_STRINGS
207 strings prints the printable character sequences for each file
214 The time command runs the specified program with the given arguments.
215 When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output
216 giving timing statistics about this program run.
218 config CONFIG_WATCHDOG
222 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
223 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
224 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
225 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
226 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
227 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
