NAME

       lr_cron - run the perodical jobs configured in a DlfStore.

       lr_cron period store

DESCRIPTION

       lr_cron is designed to be called in a crontab(5) entry.	period should be "hourly", "daily", "weekly", "monthly" or "yearly".  store should
       be the full path name of the DLF Store.

       lire(1) should be used to configure periodical jobs in the store.

       To run jobs as scheduled by lire(1), you will need to setup cron jobs. For each schedule you use, you should configure a cron job to be
       executed according to that period.

       Here is a crontab(5) entry that will make sure that all possible schedules are supported in the /home/flacoste/myStore DLF store:

	05  *  *  *  * lr_run lr_cron hourly  /home/flacoste/myStore
	15 01  *  *  * lr_run lr_cron daily   /home/flacoste/myStore
	15 02  *  * 02 lr_run lr_cron weekly  /home/flacoste/myStore
	15 03 01  *  * lr_run lr_cron monthly /home/flacoste/myStore
