It would be nice to be able to specify a log for cron itself and also a log for each program's stdout and stderr to go to. The latter can of course be done with > and 2> but it would be nice if there could be a single line with some sort of pattern like `> /usr/spool/log/%' and the command would be substituted for the %. Another thing which would be nice is to be able to specify which shell to call to give the command to. -- Perry Smith {convex!ctvax,{ti-csl,infotel}!pollux}!bobkat!pedz
