Does Debian crontab support the @NumberOfSeconds scheduling syntax?

2019-08-17 Thread Judah Richardson

The only way to know for sure is to boot into a live OS and see what works and what doesn't. Or install it and see. From my experience I'd say Linux supports everything except maybe stuff that uses TPM and some advanced/high end GPU functionality. On Sat, Aug 10, 2019, 20:09 David Christensen wro
