# lr\_cron(1)

run the perodical jobs configured in a DlfStore.

## NAME

lr\_cron - run the perodical jobs configured in a DlfStore.

## SYNOPSIS

**lr\_cron** *period* *store*

## DESCRIPTION

**lr\_cron** is designed to be called in a [**crontab**(5)](/crontab/5.md) entry. *period* should be "hourly", "daily", "weekly", "monthly" or "yearly". *store* should be the full path name of the DLF Store.

[**lire**(1)](/lire/1.md) should be used to configure periodical jobs in the store.

To run jobs as scheduled by [**lire**(1)](/lire/1.md), you will need to setup cron jobs. For each schedule you use, you should configure a cron job to be executed according to that period.

Here is a [**crontab**(5)](/crontab/5.md) entry that will make sure that all possible schedules are supported in the /home/flacoste/myStore DLF store:

```
 05  *  *  *  * lr_run lr_cron hourly  /home/flacoste/myStore
 15 01  *  *  * lr_run lr_cron daily   /home/flacoste/myStore
 15 02  *  * 02 lr_run lr_cron weekly  /home/flacoste/myStore
 15 03 01  *  * lr_run lr_cron monthly /home/flacoste/myStore
 15 04 01  01 * lr_run lr_cron yearly  /home/flacoste/myStore
```
