I think they all should. Who cares? *MY* cron is in the public domain. Get it from a comp.sources.unix archive site near you. Or get it from gatekeeper.dec.com via prospero or anonftp. Or wait for 4.4BSD. A cron that doesn't let you set its path, will not send you mail if your commands generate output, and will not let each user have their own crontab, is, well, it's not my version, whatever it is.
