Package: mirmon
Version: 2.6-1
Severity: minor

spent sometime wondering WTF but then RTFM:

$ man 5 crontab | grep '%' | head -1
       The  ``sixth''  field  (the  rest  of  the line) specifies the command 
to be run.  The entire command portion of the line, up to a newline or % 
character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell specified in the SHELL 
variable of the crontab file.

So, following crontab entry in man mirmon would not work:

42 * * * * perl -e 'printf "%s\n", time' > /path/to/archive/TIME

and would require escaping

42 * * * * perl -e 'printf "\%s\n", time' > /path/to/archive/TIME


hereby I am passing the estaphete to you so you could reporbug:

$ man 5 crontab | grep '%' | tail -1
       0 4 8-14 * *    test $(date +%u) -eq 6 && echo "2nd Saturday"

which I bet would not work as well ;-)
