NAME
john-cronjob - installs or removes the john cronjob
SYNOPSIS
john-cronjob install | remove
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the john-cronjob script, an add-on to the john package. john-cronjob is used to install or remove a cronjob that will run automatically every day, trying to crack passwords (a script will be placed under /etc/cron.daily). When the script is called, it will check if an instance of john is already running. If not, it will start a new john(1) process, and then run the mailer(1) script.
When installing or removing the cronjob, this script will never touch a symlink.
SEE ALSO
mailer(1), john(1), unafs(1), unique(1), unshadow(1), john.ini(5)
The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on your system.
