NAME
ldbedit - Edit LDB databases using your preferred editor SYNOPSIS
ldbedit [-?] [--usage] [-s base|one|sub] [-b basedn] [-a] [-e editor] [-H LDB-URL] [expression] [attributes...] DESCRIPTION
ldbedit is a utility that allows you to edit LDB entries (in tdb files, sqlite files or LDAP servers) using your preferred editor. ldbedit generates an LDIF file based on your query, allows you to edit the LDIF, and then merges that LDIF back into the LDB backend. OPTIONS
-?, --help Show list of available options, and a phrase describing what that option does. --usage Show list of available options. This is similar to the help option, however it does not provide any description, and is hence shorter. -H <ldb-url> LDB URL to connect to. For a tdb database, this will be of the form tdb://filename. For a LDAP connection over unix domain sockets, this will be of the form ldapi://socket. For a (potentially remote) LDAP connection over TCP, this will be of the form ldap://hostname. For an SQLite database, this will be of the form sqlite://filename. -s one|sub|base Search scope to use. One-level, subtree or base. -a, -all Edit all records. This allows you to apply the same change to a number of records at once. You probably want to combine this with an expression of the form "objectclass=*". -e editor, --editor editor Specify the editor that should be used (overrides the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables). If this option is not used, and neither VISUAL nor EDITOR environment variables are set, then the vi editor will be used. -b basedn Specify Base Distinguished Name to use. -v, --verbose Make ldbedit more verbose about the operations that are being performed. Without this option, ldbedit will only provide a summary change line. ENVIRONMENT
LDB_URL LDB URL to connect to. This can be overridden by using the -H command-line option.) VISUAL and EDITOR Environment variables used to determine what editor to use. VISUAL takes precedence over EDITOR, and both are overridden by the -e command-line option. VERSION

CRONTAB(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						CRONTAB(1)

NAME
crontab -- maintain crontab files for individual users (V3) SYNOPSIS
crontab [-u user] file crontab [-u user] { -l | -r | -e } DESCRIPTION
The crontab utility is the program used to install, deinstall or list the tables used to drive the cron(8) daemon in Vixie Cron. Each user can have their own crontab, and though these are files in /var, they are not intended to be edited directly. If the allow file exists, then you must be listed therein in order to be allowed to use this command. If the allow file does not exist but the deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the deny file in order to use this command. If neither of these files exists, then depending on site-dependent configuration parameters, only the super user will be allowed to use this command, or all users will be able to use this command. The format of these files is one username per line, with no leading or trailing whitespace. Lines of other formats will be ignored, and so can be used for comments. The first form of this command is used to install a new crontab from some named file or standard input if the pseudo-filename '-' is given. The following options are available: -u Specify the name of the user whose crontab is to be tweaked. If this option is not given, crontab examines ``your'' crontab, i.e., the crontab of the person executing the command. Note that su(1) can confuse crontab and that if you are running inside of su(1) you should always use the -u option for safety's sake. -l Display the current crontab on standard output. -r Remove the current crontab. -e Edit the current crontab using the editor specified by the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables. The specified editor must edit the file in place; any editor that unlinks the file and recreates it cannot be used. After you exit from the editor, the modified crontab will be installed automatically. FILES
/var/cron/allow List of users allowed to use crontab /var/cron/deny List of users prohibited from using crontab /var/cron/tabs Directory for personal crontab files DIAGNOSTICS
A fairly informative usage message appears if you run it with a bad command line. SEE ALSO
crontab(5), cron(8) STANDARDS
The crontab command conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') with the exception that the dangerous variant of calling crontab without a file name in the first form of the command is not allowed by this implementation. The pseudo-filename '-' must be specified to read from standard input. The new command syntax differs from previous versions of Vixie Cron, as well as from the classic SVR3 syntax. AUTHORS
