The usual answer - or question - to "it's broken for me, can
someone ...?" is "Where's your patch?". :) You might want to
have a look at src/release/sysinstall/installUpgrade.c and the
hitlist which has callback handler preparations already. That
was the first match when searching for "crontab" there. From a
quick view this could be the place to hook into.
But I thought modifying cron(8) itself would be the best way. Is
someone already working on this or should I try to do it myself
(within the next few weeks)?
