- garganzol 10mo agoRunning a command is the main idea of cron. In this case, the author runs composite commands like: test && action Where 'test' is another shell command that returns 0 or 1. This is not a special cron syntax, it's just the inherent capability of the Unix shell. In any case, this whole approach is very clever and shows the beauty of The Unix Way.
