Crontab
 

To allow or deny access to specific users, crontab uses the files /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny. Based on the existence of /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny files, crontab decides whom to give access to cron in following order.

  1. If cron.allow exists – only the users listed in the file cron.allow will get an access to crontab.
  2. If cron.allow does not exist – all users except the users listed into cron.deny can use crontab
  3. If neither of the file exists – only the root can use crontab
  4. If a user is listed in both cron.allow and cron.deny – that user can use crontab.
crontab -l : To display the cron jobs.
crontab -e : To edit the cron table.

crontab -r : To remove the crontable without confirmation.
crontab -ir: To remove the crontable with confirmation.

To list,schedule or remove cron job for the particular user, use below commands.
#crontab -l -u mithun
#crontab -e -u mithun
#crontab -ir -u mithun

sudo su -
cd /opt
yum install tar wget -y
wget http://download.sonatype.com/nexus/3/nexus-3.15.2-01-unix.tar.gz

useradd nexus

#Give the sudo access to nexus user

visudo
nexus ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

#Change the owner and group permissions to /opt/nexus and /opt/sonatype-work directories.

chown -R nexus:nexus /opt/nexus
chown -R nexus:nexus /opt/sonatype-work
chmod -R 775 /opt/nexus
chmod -R 775 /opt/sonatype-work

#Open /opt/nexus/bin/nexus.rc file and  uncomment run_as_user parameter and set as nexus user.

vi /opt/nexus/bin/nexus.rc
run_as_user="nexus"

#Create nexus as a service

ln -s /opt/nexus/bin/nexus /etc/init.d/nexus

#Switch as a nexus user and start the nexus service as follows.

sudo su - nexus

#Enable the nexus services
sudo systemctl enable nexus

#Start the nexus service
sudo systemctl start nexus

#Access the Nexus server from Laptop/Desktop browser.
