Yes. (Adding the comment is something I hadn't thought of, and sounds like a win.) > Why? Because of comments in crontab files. Also because users may have scripts that expect to be able to remove or update those entries. > Also, the existing crontab(1) interface must continue to work. crontab(1) would work for legacy entries, but not for new SMF-based entries. (Perhaps there might be new options to support SMF-based entries.)
