I think pschedule works fine in April64. The jobs are listed properly.

pschedule knows where they stored. The following commands work
properly as well.

Code:

crontab -e

crontab -l



So I've concluded there is a bug in the crond utility.

You need to know whether you are using the 'cron' package or the busybox applets.

I changed Pschedule to explicitly use the busybox applets, just in case the cron package is installed.

'crond' and 'crontab' busybox versions, both support the '-c' option to specify the working directory.
From the man page at die.net, the full crond does not have this option.

So in Pschedule I have "busybox crond -c /var/local/cron/crontabs"

I was looking through the code of pschedule and here are some suggestions...

Two more tooltip-text popups....

Code:
Line 156  of pschedule   <button space-expand="false" space-fill="false" tooltip-text="'$(gettext 'Launch settings window')'">
Line 78 of func_new       S=$S'<button space-expand="false" space-fill="false" tooltip-text="'$(gettext 'Add these settings back to task list')'" image-position="2">'


___________________________________________________________

And I noticed in Werewolf 64 (newest by Barry)
that there was a scrollbar at bottom of minute's list. Widening the list a bit to 90
eliminated the scrollbar and didn't change window dimensions.

Code:
Line 98 of func_new       <width>90</width><height>100</height>

pSchedule is now maintained in Woof
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/tree/testing/woof-code/rootfs-packages/pschedule/usr/local/pschedule

Are you willing to pull a request there - would be great for me Smile
If not - it's ok.

The tooltips looks just fine, but for the scrollbars, I think hscrollbar-policy would be a better solution. We could even make the list narrower...

As far as I can see Pschedule allows (accidental) selection of impossible dates. Such tasks would never be executed.

One way to prevent such dates could be to edit /usr/local/pschedule/func_new and then change line
Code:
<action type="exit">add</action>

to something like
Code:
<action condition="command_is_true( [[ $DAY$MONTH =~ (31.([FSN]|Ap|Jun)|30.F)  ]] && gxmessage -c Illegal date $DAY$MONTH || echo true )">exit:add</action>
