E-mail sent to www@g.o by Scott Ortell: """ In the cron documentation, you state that the command "crontab -d" deletes the crontab. This may be correct for dcrom and fcron but the command to delete the cron entry in vixie cron is "crontab -r" no biggie. but it may cause confusion to a noob. Keep up the excellent documentation!!! (my favorite reason for using gentoo) """
I guess you refer to the Code Listing 3.13: # crontab -d # crontab -l This Code Listing follows this sentence: "As a step forward, let's remove that crontab using the corresponding remove command from the table above." And the table above contains the good command for vixie cron that is "crontab -r".
Marking as such.
