Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-124ubuntu2 Severity: minor Tags: patch The wording in crontab(5) for @reboot could be improved, from:
Please note that startup, as far as @reboot is concerned, is the time when the .IR cron (8) daemon startup. In particular, it may be before some system daemons, or other facilities, were startup. This is due to the boot order sequence of the machine. to Please note that startup, as far as @reboot is concerned, is when the .IR cron (8) daemon is started. In particular, it may be before some system daemons, or other facilities, are started, due to the boot sequence of the machine, and the order can vary from one boot to another. This change does two things: it improves the English, and it mentions that boot order can vary. -- Package-specific info: --- EDITOR: not set --- /usr/bin/editor: /bin/nano --- /usr/bin/crontab: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root crontab 35984 Feb 9 2013 /usr/bin/crontab --- /var/spool/cron: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 27 14:47 /var/spool/cron --- /var/spool/cron/crontabs: drwx-wx--T 2 root crontab 4096 Feb 25 09:00 /var/spool/cron/crontabs --- /etc/cron.d: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 18 07:47 /etc/cron.d --- /etc/cron.daily: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 17 07:40 /etc/cron.daily --- /etc/cron.hourly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 2014 /etc/cron.hourly --- /etc/cron.monthly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 15:23 /etc/cron.monthly --- /etc/cron.weekly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 19 07:56 /etc/cron.weekly -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers trusty-updates APT policy: (500, 'trusty-updates'), (500, 'trusty-security'), (500, 'trusty'), (400, 'trusty-proposed'), (100, 'trusty-backports'), (90, 'vivid-updates'), (90, 'vivid') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-45-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3ubuntu3 ii debianutils 4.4 ii dpkg 1.17.5ubuntu5.3 ii libc6 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-1ubuntu2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-1ubuntu2 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1ubuntu0.1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian11ubuntu6 ii upstart [upstart-job] 1.12.1-0ubuntu4.2 cron recommends no packages.
