Hi Baptiste,

Why it used to work on FreeBSD 10? It stopped worked on FreeBSD 11 only.

Cron is just an example, I manage more than 50 FreeBSD servers, and I've
been using ports for years to update some configs and restart the service
on all of them. Many times I need to change nginx config, ldap, etc. I just
need to restart the service.

Is there some flag to disable it? Or some hack that I could do?

Thanks.
