-*-text-*- * If two users modify their crontabs simultaneously, there will be contention for /var/cron/update between themselves and with the main daemon. * Daylight savings time shifts are not taken into account very well. If things are critical, your best bet is to set your TZ environment variable to `:Universal', and express all your configuration files in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). * As often as not the cron daemon crashes (segfaults) when crontab sends it a SIGHUP.
