minus-squaredondelelcaro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·5 天前That’s why there’s a crontab rule to load the crontab from a file. Cronception if you will.
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·5 天前Make the rule start a secondary cron system. Otherwise it won’t run after you erase the crontab.

Almost as bad as putting the “edit” flag right next to the “delete everything without confirmation” flag on a Western keyboard (-e vs -r).
