  • Jobs are defined in individual files in packages/fullcount/server/base/trunk/src/etc/cron.d/.
  • Jobs are defined in individual files to make them easier to manage with Ansible.
  • You cannot use the crontab command to view or edit jobs in the "/etc/cron.d" directory.
  • Do not use the crontab command to schedule new jobs. Instead, create a new file in the "/etc/cron.d" directory.
