chatty cron

[Arnold D. Robbins]

A while back I asked about the chatty cron in SunOS 4.0.  The major reason
I complained was that I remember getting lots of empty mail from cron,
although that does not seem reproducible now.

In any case, a number of kind readers have convinced me that the way the
4.0 cron works is a feature and not a bug, and that it's nice to easily be
able to know what's happening in the wee hours of the morning.

Thanks to all who replied,
