@thatcks Pardon my ignorance, is this one where there are multiple ways to skin the cat? Or is there just one cron.d entry file format?
Systems without /etc/cron.d just make my sysadmin life harder and more annoying. OmniOS, I'm looking at you.

@thatcks (1/2) Looks like cron.d entries add an additional entry "user" between two existing normal crontab fields. Feels hacky. -
@thatcks (2/2) Were I designing from scratch, I'd have /etc/cron.d/<username>/* files, but what do I know? -
@kebesays cron.d is designed to make installing new entries be just a file copy. /etc/cron.d/<username>/ makes that harder; may need mkdir. -
@thatcks Got it.
