A line starting with a dash in normal user's crontab is handled as incorrect. Cronie's crontab command doesn't allow this anymore and refuses to install a new crontab containing a dash. However, as some users used this unintentional feature, their (currently invalid) crontabs slipped in during 11.3 -> 11.4 update and their commands are skipped instead of getting executed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
