Log files!  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.
