Description Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2012-09-07 18:09:49 UTC
The default Ubuntu cron daemon needs the user that will be used to run the command defined for each line.
It is a standard nowadays and will not break other OS's, but will address issues from some users.

[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 8741 - crontab.example missing username, fails in some systems

Simple addition of the koha user to the sample cron file. Might help non-tech
users to get things like incremental indexing to work.
