# 267654 19-Jun-2014 gjb

Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 235047 05-May-2012 gjb

MFC r234775:

As cron(8) is started with '-s' by default, timezones that observe
DST should not need to worry about scheduling jobs when the DST time
changes.

Rather than removing the BUGS section in crontab(5) regarding this,
note that disabling '-s' may still cause jobs to be executed twice or
not at all.

# 49622 11-Aug-1999 sheldonh

Christen a BUGS section for an explanation of the impact of Daylight
Savings Time on cron(8). If we ever introduce some work-around code for
handling jobs scheduled for a time that "doesn't happen" due to DST,
the section should be renamed to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES.

.Sh AUTHOR -> .Sh AUTHORS. Use .An/.Aq.


# 30895 02-Nov-1997 ache

Log run-time parsing errors now

Use getpwnam before getpwuid since two users with same uids can exists
(affects new login classes code only)

The same fixes as in inetd: by default run `system crontab things' with
daemon login class now, not restrict them to user class breaking
compatibility with old way (so-called nobody limits problem)

Implement user[:group][/login-class] syntax in system crontab
for more flexible control (the same as in inetd)

crontab(5) incorrectly documented the dom/month arguments.
They have valid ranges of 1-31 and 1-12, not 0-31 and 0-12.


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r2311,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 2311 27-Aug-1994 jkh

Paul Vixie's cron, version 3.0. Munged into bmake format. If this goes
well, expect our two seperate directories for cron and crontab to go away
shortly.
