The instructions aren't wrong, but perhaps it would be more precise to change the description from "Root's crontab(5)" to "The system crontab(5)". A commit references this bug: Author: wblock Date: Mon Jun 22 20:25:00 UTC 2015 New revision: 284709 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/284709 Log: Call /etc/crontab the "system crontab", not "root's crontab". While here, fix some other wording issues PR: 201048 Submitted by: teksimian@gmail.com MFC after: 1 week Changes: head/libexec/atrun/atrun.man Hah, I actually changed it to that same wording before seeing the followup! Yes, /etc/crontab is really the system crontab, and has that additional "who" parameter. Thanks! |
Man page contains; Root's crontab(5) file /etc/crontab has to contain the line */5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun Crontab will try to execute command "root" and fail.
