The '-' comes if you check the 'silent' box. It's a vixie cron extension. What version of cron does your system use? I'm not sure if vixie cron is a requirement - I'll look into it and see if I should make kcron handle non-extended crons. Probably should. This is the default cron of Debian, so the one from Paul Vixie according to the names that I find in the docs.
choupi:# apt-cache policy cron
cron:
Installés : 3.0pl1-86
Candidat : 3.0pl1-86
Table de version :
*** 3.0pl1-86 0
600 http://ftp.de.debian.org sarge/main Packages
99 http://ftp.uk.debian.org sid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
But you pointed the problem: in kcron, if I try to check "Silent", I get an error message when saving (something like "Can't save, error occured" in English). On the console I get this again:
christ@choupi:~$ kcron
"/tmp/kde-christ/kcrono0U3Tb.tmp":13: bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.
If I try to add the '-' via crontab -e, it fails:
christ@choupi:~$ crontab -e
crontab: installing new crontab
"/tmp/crontab.OE0cgL/crontab":19: bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.
Do you want to retry the same edit? n
This is now in kcron 3.2.3.
Would you be able to post the content of the crontab file? (blocking out any security sensitive stuff of course). (I won't reply for a while - I'm off to the Baltics for a fortnight). This is the complete file. BTW, the problem is there when I use kcron on a user which has never used cron. christ@choupi:~$ crontab -l # Signature #\-0 * * * * /home/christ/bin/MakeSig >/dev/null # MAJ spams 0 12,13 * * * sa-learn --mbox --spam ~/Vrac/spam && sa-learn --mbox --ham ~/Vrac/ham # Mise à jour sites #\-0 1,6 * * * sitecopy --update -a # Sauvegardes 5 2,20 * * * /home/christ/bin/Sauvegardes # Génération fichier des tags 0 19 * * * /home/christ/bin/MakeTagsCompil # Apt Show Version #\0 22 * * * /home/christ/bin/aptshowversions # Compare Img 0 1 * * * /home/christ/bin/cmpImg # Regénération site murphyque 0 4 * * * /home/christ/public_html/Murphy.dyn/totale yes # Dailystrips 0 0,10,16,17,18,19 * * * dailystrips --random >~/dl.html 2>/dev/null # Maj liste MP3 0 22 * * * /home/christ/bin/MajMP3 # This file was written by KCron.
