The cron jobs that script bin/Cron.sh tries to insert implicitly depends on the 
platform having Paul Vixie's cron because it use the slash syntax for repeating 
ranges. Many Unix/Linux platforms use this cron, but not all.

I suggest to make this a little more portable. Example: Instead of writing:

*/20 * * * *    $HOME/bin/otrs.GenericAgent.pl >> /dev/null


then bite the bullet and do:

0,20,40 * * * *    $HOME/bin/otrs.GenericAgent.pl >> /dev/null



Yes, I know it looks ugly but it will make OTRS more portable.


Lastly not all cron's support the 'crontab filename username' syntax. However 
they all support the 'crontab filename' syntax meaning that in order to be 
truly portable you have to change the script so that it MUST be executed as the 
OTRS user himself, not as root. A small price to pay for portability.
