pgrep command? [Select all that apply.]
❑ A. Program name

❑ B. Process ID (PID)

❑ C. Real or effective UID

❑ D. Associated terminal device

Question 9

The /etc/cron.d/cron.deny file exists, but the /etc/cron.d/cron.allow file does
not. Which of the following statements are true regarding access to the cron
capability? [Select all that apply.]
❑

A. Without a cron.allow file, no one, including root, is allowed to create,

edit, or delete crontab files.

crontab files.

❑ C. Any user account not listed in the cron.deny file can create, edit, or

delete their own crontab file.

❑ D. Any user account listed in the cron.deny file cannot create, edit, or

delete their crontab file.

the cron.deny file can use the cron facility.
