Hi All, This is an enhancement request. (Couldn't find "enhancement" on the severity drop down, so I picked "low"). Please reference CentOS bugzilla: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3212 (CentOS told me to report this to you). Every time I go to use /etc/crontab, I forget how to use it. It is a bit of a pain in the neck to always have to open the manual page. To combat this, I insert the below comments in all my crontab file. It is very helpful. Would you please consider adding it to the default crontab, so as to help other folks the way these comments have helped me? Many thanks, -T # The time and date fields are: # # field allowed values # ----- -------------- # minute 0-59 # hour 0-23 # day of month 1-31 # month 1-12 (or names) # day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or names) # # Asterisk (*) = first-last (wild) #
That is for what manual pages are. Anyway '/etc/crontab' usually includes some cron jobs, which could give you hint.
I just noticed that you guys did accept this and have incorporated it into both Fedora 24 and EL 7.2 SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root # For details see man 4 crontabs # Example of job definition: # .---------------- minute (0 - 59) # | .------------- hour (0 - 23) # | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31) # | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ... # | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat # | | | | | # * * * * * user-name command to be executed Very cool. I have already used it a few times. THANK YOU! -T
