\subsection{cron} This module allows to install commands into SICS which will be repeated periodically. The syntax is: sicscron intervall command. intervall is the time intervall and command is the command to execute. A problem is I/O becasue the original connection which installed the cron job may be lost. Therefore cron commands are executed within the context of special connection which does not do socket output. All I/O will be logged into the command log though for control. As this is a single system facility all data structure will be defined in the implementation file. The public interface to this is just the installation routine. This stuff is implemented in the files sicscron.h and sicscron.c. The installation routine installs another task into the SICS system which will invoke the command to be executed at the predefined intervalls.
