If the sysadmin would use "cat -v" instead of "cat" as suggested, he would immediately see the hidden commands. Perhaps it would be sufficient to change the "crontab" command in a similar way, adding an additional command line option which would translate exotic characters like "cat -v" does? Unfortunately, it wouldn't be POSIX then, no? Still, it seems to me that this change would be much less intrusive than the other ones being discussed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
