The instructions for making a crontab entry for mlmmj-maintd currently
leaves out the user to execute the entry with.  Unfortunately if an
administrator does as suggested by the output of mlmmj-make-ml and
copy/pastes the suggestion to /etc/crontab, it seems other crontab entrie=
s
fail to run.

mlmmj-make-ml also mentions running mlmmj-maintd "in daemon mode" which
seems to add confusion; it seems better to simplify this to discussing a
crontab entry, given that the suggestion in both the mlmmj-make-ml output=

and the README is to run it that way and there isn't further discussion o=
f
"daemon mode" in the README nor an init script shipped for doing so.

The attach patch addresses both issues.
Thanks
