Mainly due to lack of documentation. Bam, at my weakest moment, . I found the documentation embeeded in the "cron" command itself. Just by adding a -? or --help I got two pages of very helpfull output. Just about when I was going to offer my assistance to another user, I couldn't find it again. There has been no man pages on "/sbin/cron". Never has as I can tell.. Back in 2006 there were gripes in the mailing list indicating documentation missing for /sbin/cron and /bin/at. Well, I guess I had it when I needed it.
