As a necessity, computing tasks need to be run at all hours of the day. It would be tedious and impractical to have to manually run these regular tasks by hand across your company's fleet of computers. That's where “cron” comes in. Cron is a ubiquitous daemon (perennial) process that is used to execute scripts on whatever schedule you configure. You can configure cron to run your programs every minute, every hour, every 2 hours, once a day, etc. This makes for a convenient and powerful way to manage the computing tasks for your company. This cron tutorial will teach you about cron configuration and maintenance as well as provide examples of its use.

C Programming in Linux Tutorial: Many applications developed for Linux suffer performance degradation from symbol preemption, which is used by some developers of shared objects. We have described the problem, characterized the sort of applications most affected by it, and proposed the use of compiler options for the Intel compiler and GCC that reduce these performance problems by exploiting ELF symbol visibility features. more>

Embedded Real Time Operating System Design: Linux and QNX gained notoriety because of the obvious potential for both as the operating systems and development platforms for Web appliances. Linux had mostly been used as a server OS and QNX mainly as an industrial embedded real time operating system (RTOS). Linux and QNX can be used for developing smaller, more capable portable devices. This paper will brief you the embedded development capabilities of Linux and QNX for real time operating system design. more>
