Hi Brian, Thanks for the suggestion, but can you please be a little more specific as to which platforms and versions you know that do not understand the Vixie syntax OTRS uses?
AFAIK all Linuxen and *BSDs have vixie cron or anacron and this is no problem there. Also, I still have to run into the first company to want to run OTRS on AIX or HP-UX. -- Mike On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 11:33 AM, brianmortonb2b-atw...@yahoo.dk <brianmortonb2b-atw...@yahoo.dk> wrote: > > The cron jobs that script bin/Cron.sh tries to insert implicitly depends on > the platform having Paul Vixie's cron because it use the slash syntax for > repeating ranges.
