SHELL=/usr/bin/bash PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root # the maximal random delay added to the base delay of the jobs RANDOM_DELAY=5 # the jobs will be started during the following hours only START_HOURS_RANGE=0-12 #period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command 1 5 cron.daily nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily 7 25 cron.weekly nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly @monthly 45 cron.monthly nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
