Description A. Mosteo 2006-06-05 01:02:28 UTC

Version:           3.5.3 (using KDE 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.1 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-23-k7

If you check the box for "Silent" when creating or modifying a job, you'll be unable to save the changes. Executing from console shows a message saying that the file has wrong format (bad minute). I guess kcron is generating an invalid crontab file when this option is checked.

The task I was using for testing was a daily one, with all minutes checked (maximum frequency allowed by kcron).

Confirming with KCron 3.5.3 (Debian Sid package).

I get the following output on the console:

"/tmp/kde-stefan/kcronOvkJMa.tmp":9: bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.

Oops, this is a dupe actually.
