Description Aistis Jokubauskas 2010-07-24 15:24:12 UTC

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cron-guide.xml

Incorrect example in "Code Listing 3.13: Removing a crontab" table in cron-guide.

# crontab -d
crontab: invalid option -- 'd'
....

I've used vixie-cron 4.1-r10.

Reproducible: Always

I'll take this one.

Next time, please also provide the correct commands with your bug reports.

After reviewing the instructions, I realized the user did not properly read the guide.

We provide a table that lists equivalent commands, so you are to substitute that command for a given step.

Please read:
