Description
I have a weird bug here under CentOS 5.4: the cron job never gets executed. I see it was *created* in the logs:
Nov 13 15:06:02 cl-t040-102cl crontab[23739]: (aegir) REPLACE (aegir)But it never gets executed: I don't see it in the logs and I do not receive the email. I file this here because I suspect it's related to the changes in the syntax of the crontab.

#1
I had to restart cron for the changes to take effect, for some weird reason (!?!). I'll document that in the centos hints file.
#2
On Debian it works as expected.
