Hello Paul, I uploaded a new cron release (3.0pl1-190) to experimental.
Please can you test this release? If the modifications match your needs, would you be kind enough to propose two additional things? 1- a script to test that the new feature is working (when cron is installed in a clean chroot) 2- a short description of Debian's specific feature which is added by the new release, to be included at some point in cron's man page. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Best regards, Georges.
