The /etc/crontab is largely self-documenting. It is similar to the format of the other crontab files, and includes a comment line:
#minute hour mday month wday who command
What further information do you need?
None, in the file itself, but the crontab(5) man page should be tweaked. I have posted the following suggestion (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
The ``sixth'' field (the rest of the line) specifies the command to be ... --- In the case of /etc/crontab, another field (username) follows the time and date fields. This is normally set to root, but other names can be specified; the command will be setuid(2) to the corresponding uid.
The ``final'' field (the rest of the line) specifies the command to be ...
The user shouldn't be required to spot the added "who" field in the comment, let alone read the source code to determine that no other format changes have been made. The man pages promise to (and should) describe any format differences.
