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 @statedir@, they are not intended to be edited directly.
These jobs are then automatically translated in systemd Timers & Units by systemd-crontab-generator.

FILES

@statedir@
    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)

LIMITATIONS
SELinux is not supported.

Some extra settings can only be tweaked with

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

see systemd.cron(7) for more details.
