Synopsis: crontab bug in 3.2-R ???
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: ru
State-Changed-When: Mon Jun 14 01:34:15 PDT 1999
State-Changed-Why:
User field only exists in /etc/crontab.
cron(8):
Cron searches /var/cron/tabs for crontab files which are named after ac-
counts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into memory. Cron also
searches for /etc/crontab which is in a different format (see crontab(5)).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
crontab(5):
The format of a cron command is very much the V7 standard, with a number
of upward-compatible extensions. Each line has five time and date
fields, followed by a user name (with optional ``:<group>'' and ``/<lo-
gin-class>'' suffixes) if this is the system crontab file, followed by a
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
command.
