0004396: cswcrontab action script vs the percent sign
Mail to maintainers list from Maciej:

The cswcrontab CAS uses percent as if it was a comment. However, the
percent is not a comment; the way cron works is it pipes everything
after the percent into the command being run.

More information: http://www.hcidata.info/crontab.htm [^]

I think we need to mark the cswcrontab entries by a magic comment
above the crontab line.
Link from James about how Sun does it:

I've reworked cswcrontab. It now uses a comment in the previous line, for instance:

# Added by cswcrontab for CSWfoo
30 * * * * /opt/csw/bin/something

Here's the change:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/9940 [^]

The change has been tested with one package. It needs some more testing.
