Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-105 Severity: wishlist Hello,
from crontab(5): | Each line has five time and date fields, followed by a command, | followed by a newline character ('\n'). When editing a user crontab with 'crontab -e' the syntax is checked - except of the newline character. This may result in the last cronjob beeing silently ignored when the newline character is missing. This might be a rare case but can still be very uncomfortable if a cronjob is not executed as expected. Therefore it would be nice to syntax check the newline, too.
