David, The attached patch updates the crontab syntax file to allow specifying the month or day of week in any case. This follows the behavior of those cron daemons which allow using names instead of numbers for these fields, as they specifically use a case-insensitive string comparison.
If the patch looks acceptable, would you mind forwarding an updated version of the syntax file to Bram so it will be included in the upcoming release? Thanks, -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[email protected]>
