Get the Crondangles mug.A technique of writing a Unix cron job to perform a task sometime in the future. The task is usually somewhat malicious in nature, but is usually repaired with the same script in order to create an intermittent problem. This is ususally performed by disgruntled IT workers with root access to a Unix or Linux system.
A cronbomb would look like the following logic:
Example 1:
Remove critical line from apache server
Restart Apache knowing it will fail
Wait 10 to 15 minutes
Put critical line back
Example 2:
change the contents of a homepage/information page to display whatever image or contents you choose.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes
Change contents back to original contents
The key is returning the contents back to the original in a timely manor as to lead people to believe the issue has been resolved.
Repeat at whatever interval suits your situation. by waiting longer, say 2 - 3 months it will likely get more cycles before it is properly caught and repaired.

Get the Crontonimo bay mug.Term for one who is a student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Arizona State University. A Cronkitey person thinks they are going to be the next Barbra Walters or Walter Cronkite because they go to school in Downtown Phoenix vs. Tempe. They believe they are better than everyone else and don't see the truth that they are just journalism students at Arizona State.
Did you see Cody downtown? He was walking around with all of cameras and stuff talking about his new job. He was being so Cronkitey.
