Description Christophe Saout 2004-09-26 05:55:36 UTC

vixie-cron 4.1 hast the possibility to quiet command execution using an option.

Something like

* * * * *    -q /usr/bin/command

The parser is broken and kills the first character of the command.

Patch to fix that attached.

Cheers, I'll do a -r2 sometime soon (I'll leave it for a bit to see if any other similar issues crop up first...).

Aaron -- think we should list ourselves as maintainers in metadata? I don't think anyone else wants to go anywhere near vixie-cron :)

4.1-r2 fixed. Thanks for the patch.
