Cron

From The ReBoot Wiki

A Cron-Virus is a powerful virus capable of destroying the entire Net. The only one ever encountered is Daemon.

The virus will infect the Net and begin a count down. Everyone infected by them will start calling out numbers. When they reach zero everything is deleted.

"101. 100. 11. 10. 01. 0." (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)

• The word Cron simply means count.

• Cron is a shortening of the word Chronological. A term used to mean the order that things come in a time line.

• In a Unix system, the cron daemon runs regularly scheduled tasks, such as renaming log files and running accounting. Cron viruses are unheard of, but if they existed, it would be devastating.
