Adding Custom crontab Entries
Cisco preserves old crontab entries in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs.previous
directory on the DNCS and the Application Server. Examine these old crontab
entries for each user on the DBDS system (dncs, root, informix). Then consult with
the system operator to determine whether any of these old entries should be
retained. If necessary, add the required crontab entries to the current crontab file.
