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.

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.

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.
