-Crontab linter.
-
-chkcrontab is a script to check crontab files like those in
-/etc/cron.d and /etc/crontab.  It tries to catch glaring errors
-and warn on suspect lines in a crontab file.  Some valid lines
-will generate warnings.  Certain silly yet valid crontab lines
-will generate errors as well.
-
-Run this by doing ./chkcrontab crontab_file
-
-Errors will cause a non-zero exit code.  Warnings alone will not.
-
-To see sample output for a bad crontab, run the following:
-
-  ./chkcrontab ./tests/test_crontab
-
-See the ./tests/test_crontab.disable crontab for how to disable
-warnings and errors.
