I stumbled on this bug whilst searching for something loosely related. This bug is incorrect. The "spooldir" you reference applies to the per-user tabs in /var/spool/cron/tabs The part that deals with timestamps on files in /etc/cron.d / /usr/local/etc/cron.d refers to SYSCRONTABS, and is the section before which you quoted, starting roughly 30 lines earlier, and they are processed approx 20 lines after the bit you quoted. Cheers! Hi, Sorry that I missed this; by now this has been OBE. This was fixed in r332429 (prior to stable/12 branching) and MFC'd to stable/11 in r332747 (prior to 11.2-RELEASE) thus the fix should be available in all supported versions/branches. Thanks for the report! Kyle Evans |
