In the SuSE /etc/crontab
the entry to run the cron.{hourly,daily,monthly,weekly}
scripts is coded as:
-*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1
Notice that the very first character of the specification is a dash character (-), and this is NOT a typo.
Can somebody explain what the time spec -*/15
means?
BTW, the stuff seems to be running fine.
