bool "crond"
default n
select CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID
help
Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
$ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
40 4 * * * /etc/cron/daily > /dev/null 2>&1
Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
work properly.

precision arithmetic.
config CONFIG_DEVFSD
bool "devfsd (obsolete)"
default n
help
This is deprecated, and will be going away in a future release.
Provides compatibility with old device names on a devfs systems.
You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled.
The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
"CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
"PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",
"MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".
But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!
config CONFIG_DEVFSD_MODLOAD
bool "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"
default n

bool "Enables the -fg and -np options"
default n
depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
help

config CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS
bool " Use devfs names for all devices (obsolete)"
default n
help
This tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of
/dev/loop0. If your /dev directory has normal names instead of
devfs names, you don't want this.
This is obsolete and will be going away someday. Consider it
deprecated.

The -M flag enables a more sophisticated status line.
The -m flag enables a simpler status line with a percentage.

bool "Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
default y
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help

bool "Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM

bool "tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
help
Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous

config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS
bool "makedevs"
default n
help
'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
one command.
.
There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
.
'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
.
'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

files on the tape.
config CONFIG_RUNLEVEL
bool "runlevel"
default n
help
find the current and previous system runlevel.
This applet uses utmp but does not rely on busybox supporing
utmp on purpose. It is used by e.g. emdebian via /etc/init.d/rc.
config CONFIG_RX

help
The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
