[-- Attachment #1 --] This came up in discussion on IRC and I thought I should throw it at the list so I don't forget. A user was asking how to do what linux cron does, where there is a directory /etc/cron.d/ that packages and add files to to create crontabs. Making FreeBSD's cron (Vixie Cron) include /etc/cron.d/ and /usr/local/etc/cron.d/ in the /etc/crontab format seems like a very useful feature, especially for pkg(8) as it makes it easy and safe to programatically add and remove crontabs as part of a package. -- Allan Jude [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSeStkAAoJEJrBFpNRJZKfm8oP/jISo2YJMYu3mBhAl3ELCABY H/WRtKgtaPTL/hZjWFNkxKAlzBpzltIqORLdfIQlj3wQWR3Y7wgLZuzJ9uFLu4HF w1RXvO7aRFyceSehAzK4XXmLtRh7Wjmw6b9Cj9RPYgaWQkBkeMGfqrS0POMzMVyA 3Mo2FcnL4rbf7GXsy5ZM2zgslKzdfmvFi1OqOtxB6Hrd+OxJJQXcMbyrC4dh4qpN UsV1OK22wziqT06cSzFRfKI6FAwuLNmKwRkh/VJGu7eKIGp2nQ1FvNvRriGvDlOR RfLCWOCo+mU4S8BqPIKwl/Aff86mvw9UUo4c9uJTR2KPITo17tdteYctG+9IFGSM 4t8VXzPyBYkmVZWvbo13S8b2svfR/sM8dEPZ5vIU4/7qEnIshVvDfyFFcCeDCOz9 o2EyaEWrWyBPjdwdRnJtLFWX/H0auBBHnG+kCEtLEb7elQxZDBGd+enXVSf3FQ22 2OzRlqEtDYqDvFCzDO1rMxerHH+STtyYfZkpT1G6eHJfagF4pfwYugfPRqgnVJaX xtlbJqsB2ckvZIRhnsNjPVxbLvoaKUFYy21M2e9MHWX03GZcx2ovyaAhESY5ItzZ s6FLMW/AXp7Bu3s14oFLY1UK6f9kzOJrH3Gf5AKVx9W2nVTe0YeMDUlU0lWv6AA7 ToUd9DNotllmIldyKWDY =6FW+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
