Cron Overview and Tricks:

Brought to you by: System76

Cron is a daemon that executes scheduled commands. Cron searches its spool area (/var/spool/cron/crontabs) for crontab files.

Note that crontabs in this directory should not be accessed directly – the crontab command should be used to access and update them.
