cron: does not understand sat-sun
Hi,
Something funny happened to my cron utility recently.
Cron stopped understanding the following crontab entry:
12 14 * * sat-sun cdplay >/dev/null 2>&1
It does however understand:
12 14 * * 6-7 cdplay >/dev/null 2>&1
and
12 14 * * sun cdplay >/dev/null 2>&1
I also could not find any error messages (even if I leave out the
redirection to /dev/null). Syslogd captured the following:
Jun 16 14:12:00 boson /usr/sbin/cron[7602]: (derek) RELOAD (crontabs/derek)
This seems to coincide with my upgrading to v2.0 (which I built myself
using kernel-package-1.03). The package I use is
cron-3.0pl1-31.deb. (I removed and reinstalled the package but it does
not help.)
I have libc-5.2.18, and use bsdutil-3.0-2.deb package.
