https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D234504 --- Comment #1 from Joe Barbish <qjail1@a1poweruser.com> --- After reading what I posted I see I was not very clear about what needed to= be changed.=20 Only the second paragraph under the Description heading of cron(8) needs to= be replaced with the following paragraph content. The cron utility uses a file formatted as defined by crontab(5) to control = it's actions. The host system default is /etc/crontab which should not be change= d. Additional crontab(5) defined files with unique file names may be manually placed in the /etc/cron.d or /usr/local/etc/cron.d directories. Also the /var/cron/tabs directory may contain crontab(5) defined files named after accounts in the /etc/passwd file as documented in crontab(1). File content = read from these directory locations are merged together and loaded into memory f= or use by the cron utility. Issuing the "service cron restart" command from the root host console will refresh the cron utility's in memory controls. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
