Hi folks, I recently committed a change to the crontab.5 manual page to document the @hourly, @yearly etc. commands which I thought we supported in our crontab(1) utility. After committing the change, I had a pang of doubt and tried out the @hourly command in my user crontab. It doesn't seem to work for me; the command is completely ignored. I used this: @hourly echo Hello hour 0 * * * * echo Hello 0th minute I get mail for the 0th minute, but not for the hour. What am I doing wrong? Ciao, Sheldon.
