As Galen noted, it's "man 5 crontab." I specified it because many systems have two crontab man pages, one in section 1, the other in section 5. The section 1 page becomes the default.
Paul, I don't have a crontab manual in section 5. And what I was seeking was how to use /etc/cron.d/, which you've show me below.
No. Keep your update-tlmgr.sh script where it is.
Good it's in ~/shell-scripts/
Your /etc/cron.d fragment might be something like this # /etc/cron.d/update-tlmgr.cron 27 05 * * * tlmgruser /path/to/update-tlmgr.sh
Got it. There is now a file update-tlmgr.cron in /etc/cron.d/. Much appreciated! Regards, Rich
