Description: management of regular background processing
cron is a background process (`daemon') that runs programs at regular
intervals (for example, every minute, day, week or month); which
processes are run and at what times are specified in the `crontab'.
.
Users may also install crontabs so that processes are run on
their behalf, though this feature can be disabled or restricted to
particular users.
.
Output from the commands is usually mailed to the system administrator
(or to the user in question); you should probably install a mail system
as well so that you can receive these messages.
.
This cron package is configured by default to do various standard
system maintenance tasks, such as ensuring that logfiles do not
grow endlessly and overflow the disk.
