32 $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
33 # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:

110 This is obsolete and will be going away at the end of 2008..
111
112 This tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of

194 Enables the -I and -i options to obtain detailed information
195 directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
196 feature set. If no device name is specified, hdparm will read

242 default n
243 help
244 'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
245 one command.
246 .
247 There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
248 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
249 .
250 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
251 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
252 e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
253 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
254 .
255 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
256 a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
257 User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

299 config READAHEAD
300 bool "readahead"
301 default n
302 depends on LFS
303 help
304 Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that
305 subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O.
306
307 This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
308 It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
309 or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
310 (in particular when a CPU boundprocess is running) it can
311 significantly speed up system startup.
312
313 As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to
314 run this applet as a background job.
315
316 config RUNLEVEL

318 default n
319 help
320 find the current and previous system runlevel.

368 config WATCHDOG
369 bool "watchdog"
370 default n
371 help
372 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
373 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
374 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
375 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
376 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
377 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
