Today I learned the -n flag. Is this also an OpenBSD exclusive?

I have to say, these flags are a really nice enhancement to cron.



FreeBSD and NetBSD also implement "-n". There doesn't seem to be a cross-platform port of OpenBSD cron like there are of doas and OpenBSD ksh. (Anybody want to try making one?) Cross-platform fcron has "erroronlymail".
