# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
2+
#
3+
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
4+
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
5+
# and what command to run for the task
6+
#
7+
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
8+
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
9+
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
10+
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
11+
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
12+
#
13+
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
14+
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
15+
#
16+
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
17+
# at 5 a.m every week with:
18+
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
19+
#

# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
