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

49 Crontab manipulates the crontab for a particular user. Only
50 the superuser may specify a different user and/or crontab directory.
56 Dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
63 Provides compatibility with old device names on a devfs systems.
64 You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled.
65 The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
66 "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
67 "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",
68 "MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".
70 But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!
72 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_MODLOAD
73 bool "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"
75 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
77 This actually doesn't work with busybox modutils but needs the real modutils.
79 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_FG_NP
80 bool "Enables the -fg and -np options"
82 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
84 -fg Run the daemon in the foreground.
85 -np Exit after parsing the configuration file. Do not poll for events.
87 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_VERBOSE
88 bool "Increases logging (and size)"
90 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
92 Increases logging to stderr or syslog.
98 Used to eject cdroms. (defaults to /dev/cdrom)

115 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY
116 bool " Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
118 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
120 Enables the -I and -Istdin options to obtain detailed information
121 directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
122 feature set. Enabling this option will add about 16k...
124 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF
125 bool " Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
127 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
129 Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface.
130 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
132 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF
133 bool " Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
135 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
137 Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface.
138 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
140 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DRIVE_RESET
141 bool " perform device reset (DANGEROUS)"
143 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
145 Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset.
146 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
148 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF
149 bool " tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)"
151 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
153 Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
154 and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous
155 stuff, so you should probably say N.
157 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GETSET_DMA
158 bool " get/set using_dma flag (DANGEROUS)"
160 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
162 Enables the 'hdparm -d' option to get/set using_dma flag.
163 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
165 config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS
169 'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
172 There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
173 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
175 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
176 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
178 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
180 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
181 a batch of unrelated devices to be makde with one command.
182 User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

211 config CONFIG_STRINGS
215 strings prints the printable character sequences for each file
222 setsid runs a program in a new session
228 The time command runs the specified program with the given arguments.
229 When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output
230 giving timing statistics about this program run.
232 config CONFIG_WATCHDOG
236 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
237 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
238 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
239 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
240 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
241 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
