Bug ID: 432679
Summary: Kcron misinterprets certain crontab comments as jobs
Product: kcron
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: g...@meyer.net
Reporter: 1000.onther...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kcron misinterprets some crontab comments as jobs, ignoring the hash character.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Close Kcron/System Settings if it's already running.
2. Using the command line, edit your user's crontab (crontab -e).
3. Write this comment at the end of the file:
# - - - * randomtext
4. Close the editor, wait for your crontab to be updated and open Kcron.
OBSERVED RESULT
In Kcron, the comment appears as a disabled job, with "- - - *" as scheduling
and "randomtext" as command. It completely ignores the # hash character.
EXPECTED RESULT
As any comment, it should never be shown as a job, but ignored or used as
"description" if it's right above a given job.
