When all users except a, b, c are implicitly denied by using cron.allow, what's left for cron.deny to do?
It also prevents the question of which should "win" when a user is simultaneously in cron.allow and cron.deny. There's a clear and unambiguous answer this way.

Hi,
I can use 'crontabs –e' and do all the scheduling I like. However I would like to auto send myself just the cronjobs logs that fail. That is to say the PIDs that fail and the related lines with those PID’s only. (Not the full set of logs) Has anyone done this work? Or does an AIX 5.3 tool... (0 Replies)

ATD(8) System Manager's Manual ATD(8)
NAME
atd - run jobs queued for later execution
SYNOPSIS
atd [-l load_avg] [-b batch_interval] [-d] [-f] [-s]
DESCRIPTION
atd runs jobs queued by at(1).
OPTIONS
-l Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compile-time choice of 1.5. For an SMP
system with n CPUs, you will probably want to set this higher than n-1.
-b Specify the minimum interval in seconds between the start of two batch jobs (60 default).
-d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3). This option also implies -f.
-f Run atd in the foreground.
-s Process the at/batch queue only once. This is primarily of use for compatibility with old versions of at; atd -s is equivalent to
the old atrun command. A script invoking atd -s is installed as /usr/sbin/atrun for backward compatibility.
WARNING
atd won't work if its spool directory is mounted via NFS even if no_root_squash is set.
FILES
/var/spool/cron/atjobs The directory for storing jobs; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.
/var/spool/cron/atspool The directory for storing output; this should be mode 700, owner daemon.
/etc/at.allow, /etc/at.deny determine who can use the at system.
SEE ALSO
at(1), atrun(1), cron(8), crontab(1), syslog(3), at.deny(5), at.allow(5).
BUGS
The functionality of atd should be merged into cron(8).
