Bug#1065358: cron: No documentation in crontab(5) for extentions @reboot, @yearly, etc.

Show all headers | View raw

Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-162
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

I wanted to check the documentation about the @reboot and remark it's 
missing
from the manual page.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

I checked on the debian repo https://salsa.debian.org/debian/cron master
branch and confirmed there was no documentation for that on crontab.5 file.

* What was the outcome of this action?

I couldn't check usage and available option for crontab.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

To have the documentation about these features.
