help
Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
+ This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
+ format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
+ $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
+ # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
+ 40 4 * * * /etc/cron/daily > /dev/null 2>&1
