Title:	Linux: Get crontab and /etc/cron.* scripts
Summary:	Crontab is the program used to install, remove or list the;tables used to drive the cron(8) daemon. Each user can have their own crontab, and though these are;files in /var/spool/, they are not intended to be edited directly. For SELinux in mls mode can be;even more crontabs - for each range.;;Many of the services use crontab automatically. They store their crontab scheduler configuration;directly into /etc/cron.d directory. Any files located in this directory are automatically picked;up and executed by the crontab scheduler.;;Linux system administrators can also take an advantage of crontab preconfigured schedules;directories /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.monthly and /etc/cron.weekly.;;The crontab files located within these directories are periodically traversed and execute by crontab;scheduler. So for example crontab files found in /etc/cron.daily directory are executed every day.;Furthermore, if root wishes to run eg. backup.sh script once a week he will place it into;/etc/cron.weekly directory.;;Note: This script gets the crontab for root user and content of files /etc/cron.*
