I do. When someone has an existing working script in /etc/cron.{hourly|daily|weekly|monthly} and only need to tweek the _schedule_ (or localy the CRON_MAIL_SUCCESS); it will turn up as a such "command without argument". $ crontab -l # min hour dom month dow command CRON_MAIL_SUCCESS=never @hourly ~/bin/budget.py @daily ~/bin/graph.py @daily ~/bin/git_updater.sh @daily ~/bin/babel.sh I merged 75% of the MR and made a new version. Hope this further stabilizes. Thanks
