[comp.unix.wizards] 4.3 cron

lindsay@cheviot.UUCP (02/23/87)

Is there a known problem with /etc/cron under 4.3BSD?? On our system (11/750)
it simply ignores about half the lines in crontab. Reordering the file
does'nt change anything so the problem must (?!?!?) be somewhere else. (This file
worked fine under 4.2)

I don't know if this is related but in Ultrix's crontab, I had to supply
absolute pathnames for some of the commands (even though they were in the
standard places like "/bin", "/usr/bin", "/etc" and "/usr/ucb") to get them
to work.
