I seriously doubt people looking for cron are going to be confused by a calendar app.
Help guys, every time I go to look up the mail command, the fucking USPS shows up.
The command line cron is used for scheduling tasks, so it seems reasonable that the search results could get muddled.
The command line mail is used for checking local system mail that crontab outputs to by default, so it seems reasonable that results could get muddled. Luckily I know how to use a search engine so that's unlikely.
