[9fans] cron job

["有澤 健治" <karisawa@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I noticed what I donn't understand.


Let alice be a user of a system hebe,
and try an experiment on cron job.

STEP 1.
make /usr/alice/tmp/T that looks like:
hebe# ls -dl /usr/alice/tmp/T
d-rwxrwxrwx M 24 alice alice 0 Sep  3 01:00 /usr/alice/tmp/T
hebe#

STEP 2.
make a rc script /usr/alice/bin/rc/touchtest:
#!/bin/rc
rfork e
d=/usr/alice/tmp/T
t=`{date -n}
touch $d/$t

STEP 3.
make a cron job for alice on /cron/alice/cron such that:
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * local /usr/alice/bin/rc/touchtest

STEP 4.
observe files in /usr/alice/tmp/T
and you can confirm, owner of created files is hostowner, not alice.
my case:
hebe% cd /usr/alice/tmp
hebe% ls -l T
--rw-rw-rw- M 195329 arisawa alice 0 Sep  3 00:40 T/1630597201
--rw-rw-rw- M 195329 arisawa alice 0 Sep  3 00:50 T/1630597801
--rw-rw-rw- M 195329 arisawa alice 0 Sep  3 01:00 T/1630598401
hebe%

where "arisawa" is the hostowner of "hebe".
Is this reasonable ?

additional info:
hebe# ps | grep cron
arisawa         366    0:00   0:00      128K Sleep    cron
hebe#
