> What does /usr/lib/getNAME do? getNAME is a program that is used internally by the man and apropos commands on a BSD system. It gets the name from a man page. You can do a /usr/lib/getNAME /usr/man/man1/echo.1 to see how it works. You can also use -i or -t with getNAME. This is a very specialized command that you probably won't find useful for anything else. > Also, how is /usr/lib/atrun used by cron and at? atrun is run from crontab. It actually runs jobs submitted by the at command. atrun is only found on BSD systems. System V cron runs at jobs by itself.
