💅 incron.conf(5) — incron documentation, aka the main config file for inotify cron (incron) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the incron.conf(5) page from the incron documentation crew, and it's about /etc/incron.conf — the main config file for inotify cron (incron). It's giving "tiny file, big main-character energy" because it holds the default settings for incrond. ✨

📛 NAME

/etc/incron.conf — main config file for inotify cron (incron). That's the whole name, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION

The file /etc/incron.conf contains default settings for the program incrond. Each line holds a single value pair in the form option = value. Comment lines must have a hash sign (#) in the first line — that's the vibe check for comments, bestie.

The valid configuration options are:

• system_table_dir — this directory is examined by incrond for system table files. Default: /etc/incron.d
• user_table_dir — this directory is examined by incrond for user table files. Default: /var/spool/incron
• allowed_users — this file contains users allowed to use incron. Default: /etc/incron.allow
• denied_users — this file contains users denied to use incron. Default: /etc/incron.deny
• lockfile_dir — this directory is used for creating a lock avoiding to run multiple instances of incrond. Default: /var/run
• lockfile_name — this name (appended by '.pid') is used for creating a lock avoiding to run multiple instances of incrond. Default: incrond
• editor — this name or path is used to run as an editor for editing incron tables. Default: no editor is given, system editor used, this option overrides this. (The original page says "overide" — iconic, honestly 😭)

Cute sign-off time: the footer had Lukas Jelinek as the source, 0.5.12 as the version, and incron.conf(5) as the manual — and no separate date was printed, so that's the full footer tea. Byeee, bestie 💜🦋
