Hi Marcin,

Unless I’m mistaken, creating /var/cron/tabs will silence “crontab -e”,
but those entries will still be ignored because mcron’s crond is not
running (IIRC the cron functionality of mcron is separate and requires
you to run crond, which we don’t do.)

One option would be to write a different service altogether running that
daemon and creates /var/cron/tabs like you did.

Another option would be to remote the ‘crontab’ program from our ‘mcron’
package to at least avoid disappointments.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
