I&#8217;m mainly stunned that the most-used option and the most destructive option are one fat-fingered typo away from each other. <code>-d</code> would have already been better, but when a program has only three options, why not use, e.g., <code>-e</code>, <code>-l</code> and <code>-x</code>?</p> Sun, 25 Mar 2007 12:46:30 +0000 urn:uuid:bbad064a-0a2b-42c7-873a-6a1d2ab1c9c8 http://www.matijs.net/blog/2007/03/20/crontab-r#comment-14
