Cron Configuration

A special file with user settings is created in the /etc/cron.d/ directory during installation of the software. It enables interaction between cron and Dr.Web Updater.

Внимание!

In the task created for crond, the vixie cron syntax is used. If you use a different cron daemon, such as dcron, create a task to start Dr.Web Updater automatically.

Please note that by default the cron daemon launches Dr.Web Updater once in 30 minutes (at the 0 and 30 minutes of every hour). This may result in increased load on the Dr.Web GUS update servers and cause update delays. To avoid such situation, it is recomended to change default values to arbitrary.
