Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-116
Severity: normal

The manpage for crontab(5) has an example entry:

    # Run on every second Saturday of the month
    0 4 8-14 * *    test $(date +%u) -eq 6 && echo "2nd Saturday"

Unfortunately this will not work, as % is used to send the rest of the
line as standard input to the command.

Please update the example (and the text referring to this example)
to include the necessary escaping of the % sign.


Thanks,
Paul Slootman
