DESCRIPTION

       Crontab  is  the  program  used to let users install, deinstall or list recurrent jobs in the legacy cron
       format.
       Each user can have their own crontab, and though these are files in  /var/spool/cron/crontabs,  they  are
       not intended to be edited directly.
       These jobs are then automatically translated in systemd Timers & Units by systemd-crontab-generator.

FILES

       /var/spool/cron/crontabs
              Directory for users crontabs.

       /etc/cron.allow
              list of users that can use crontab

       /etc/cron.deny
              list of users that aren't allowed to use crontab
              (by default, only root can use crontab)

       SELinux is not supported.

       Some extra settings can only be tweaked with

           systemctl edit cron-<schedule>.[timer|service]
