A fix has been prepared that recognizes too long commands and produces an error message when attempting to create one, both via crontab(1) and cron(8). Furthermore, this limit has been documented in the man pages. ** Changed in: cron (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cron in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826702 Title: crontab cuts off file names at 100 characters Status in “cron” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: The crontab command silently cuts off file names after 100 characters.
