VIM: Syntax highlight for cron files

No one can doubt how much easiness can vi(m) bring to your life :) Very important (and useful) thing is syntax highlight. I just realized that if you edit cron tasks, there is no highligh (excluding /etc/crontab, which has automatic highlight).

So first just open needful file with vim. Don't see helpful highlights, right?

Then just use the following command to make it eye-candy:
:set ft=crontab 

And enjoy the editing :)


Good luck!
