Clarification in LSB SPEC 0.1 (cron) needed
Wenn reading LSB SPEC 0.1, Chapter 15.1 i found a contradiction:
This contradiction can be resolved in two ways:
1. remove the directory
2. change the last quoted sentence to "more often then hourly".
I am in favour of alternative #2
-------------snippet from LSB SPEC 0.1 --------
Cron jobs
Packages may not touch the configuration file /etc/crontab, nor may
they modify the files in /var/spool/cron/crontabs.
If a package wants to install a job that has to be executed via cron,
it shall place a file with the name if the package in one of the
following directories:
/etc/cron.hourly -------------!!!!!!---------
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.weekly
/etc/cron.monthly
As these directory names say, the files within them are executed on a
daily, weekly, or monthly basis, respectively.
If a certain job has to be executed more frequently than `daily,' the
!! hourly is more often then daily ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
package shall install a file /etc/cron.d/<package-name> tagged as
configuration file.
