Better explanation of cron?

Derek Slenk 11 years ago • updated by Eugene Pankov (Project coordinator) 11 years ago • 1

I am looking at the cron plugin and trying to figure out how to see the current cron tasks, but I can't.  If I am in cron.daily, there are plenty of them.


I am wondering what the cron tab does in relation to the other cron files.

cron.daily, cron.weekly and similar files are part of Anacron package (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacron). Ajenti's Cron plugin can only be used to edit "native" Cron tabs, located in /var/spool/cron/crontabs
