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.
