System Manager's Manual ✨ okay bestie, buckle up, we're talking about bcron-exec from the bcron crew 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

bcron-exec</puruple> — execute jobs on behalf of bcron-sched 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bcron-exec [ wrapper ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: bcron-exec reads formatted program execution instructions from standard input, and then it goes and executes the appropriate program. That's the whole job. It's giving middle-manager energy but in a good way 💅

And if executing that program produces any output at all, an email gets produced and sent to the recipient that was given in the instructions. No output, no email. Simple as that, fr fr 📧

Lowkey important: bcron-exec should normally be run by bcron-start in conjunction with bcron-sched. That's the intended setup, okay? Don't be out here freelancing 🙈

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• TESTMODE — if this is set, bcron-exec skips doing setuid, and dumps the email to stdout instead of invoking sendmail. Perfect for vibing in a sandbox without accidentally becoming root 💀✨

And that's the whole page, bestie!! This was bcron-exec(8) from the System Manager's Manual — the footer just says bcron-exec(8) again, no date or version tucked in there, so consider this your official sign-off 🎀💖 Slay, go run some jobs, and remember: if you're testing, set TESTMODE first 🦋✨
