crontab : how to comment a line in crontab table ?

[bcostacurta]

Hello,

I would like to comment and/or temporary disable a line in the crontab table.
Is this possible ?

Note: the syntax for crontab table is the following:

* * * * * command to be executed
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
| +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)


Bye,
Bruno

# then your comment.

Logic answer. Indeed it works.
Thanks.

Note : it seems this is not indicated in the man crontab.

Its quite universal in *nix configuration files...
So you might not find it in manual pages
