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. This means that it won't work if you have a file with a path longer than 100 characters, and want to feed it into crontab. Example: $ crontab _123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_this_will_be_cut_off _123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_12345678: No such file or directory This is due to a MAX_FNAME constant set to 100 characters in cron.h. I updated the code to use PATH_MAX instead. This will still cut off the paths, but at least after a more reasonable number of characters.
