Title:
  crontab cuts off file names at 100 characters

Status in “cron” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The crontab command silently cuts off file names after 100 characters.
  This means that it won't work if you have a file with a path longer
  than 100 characters, and want to feed it into crontab. Example:

  
  $ crontab _123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_this_will_be_cut_off
  _123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_12345678: No such file or directory

  
  This is due to a MAX_FNAME constant set to 100 characters in cron.h. I updated the code to use PATH_MAX instead. This will still cut off the paths, but at least after a more reasonable number of characters.
