It is basically the same as what has become standard for vixie-cron (with the "user" column in /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d/*), but with no special "@" features that some patches add. That includes ranges and steps in all the time fields, as well as month and weekday names. Oh, and using "%" for feeding data into the command's stdin doesn't work neither. -- Bruce Guenter <[email protected]> http://em.ca/~bruceg/ http://untroubled.org/ OpenPGP key: 699980E8 / D0B7 C8DD 365D A395 29DA 2E2A E96F B2DC 6999 80E8
