Please add option to disable special keys

[Pugnator]

In some cases the usage of special keys like @hourly is a bad idea, for example in my embedded Linux environment busybox version of crond doesn't understand it, so I can't scedule some events

We have this support available for SunOS, AIX & HP witht he SystemV flag. If we knew how to detect busybox, we could enabled this flag for it.

I don't have a busybox machine here at the moment, but if you can find a pythonic way to know it's busybox, I'll add the right flag in for you.

thanks for the bug report.

If run "crond -v" (wrong option but gives output) the output will contain "BusyBox" word.

I made a patch for busybox crond, I hope it will be accepted. It adds special keys to crond

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

Also sounds good. :-)

Your crond command could cause issues on other platforms, most of them won't have crond installed. I was hoping there'd be a pythonic way of checking for BusyBox, like we do with HP/SunOS and Windows. Maybe something in the sys module says it's busybox.
