There are secuirty reasons and other implementation difficulties for that, usually it is not a big problem. Anyway, it is a bug/feature-request for cron. > 2 - Gnome Scedule doco is insufficient. Docs can always be better, and adding some additional information on how cron works could be useful. If you make a patch I would be happy to review it. > As a side comment, I do know that coming to Linux incurs a steep > learning curve, but what I have seen of it so far tells me that the > learning curve would be a lot less steep if it the documentation were > to be improved. Yes, some of it comes from the ancient ways nix works. The command line is very powerful, but it also offers lots of possibilities for using it incorrectly. Perhaps some more examples in the docs would help, I hardly remember anymore if there are any (although it is not the responsibility of gnome-schedule to teach general linux and shell commands, that would bloat the docs with irrelevant stuff). Happy it works.
