| Hello, | | From http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-04/msg00319.html : | | > The changes (listed in /usr/share/doc/cron/CHANGES) don't appear to break | > compatibility with 3.0. | | this seems to be a version of vixie cron which (contrary to the | previous one) consistently (e.g. also in the manpage) does not (yet?, | any more?) support crontabs in /etc/cron.d . Yep, looks like it's gone (there is no real changelog), no idea why (except that /etc/cron.d is not in POSIX ). Is this regression a real problem for you (i.e. no quick workaround) or for others? If so I could try to cut & paste it back from 3.0, or use another cron (which one?). In general I prefer not modifying "standard" packages.
