Bug 33784

Summary: [PATCH] Cron man page is incomplete
Product: Documentation Reporter: mikem <mike_makonnen>

Description mikem 2002-01-11 11:20:03 UTC 
The cron man page correctly shows an '-x debugflag' option but neglects to 
specify those flags in a later section.

This is the first time I've tried to modify a man page, so please feel free
to set -mdoc police (that mysterious entity the keeps being refered to on 
the lists) on me :-)
