Package description for 'cron'

The Vixie cron daemon for executing specified programs at set times

 This is a version of 'cron' that is known to run on BSD 4.[23] systems.  It
 is functionally based on the SysV cron, which means that each user can have
 their own crontab file (all crontab files are stored in a read-protected
 directory, usually /var/cron/tabs).  No direct support is provided for
 'at'; you can continue to run 'atrun' from the crontab as you have been
 doing.  If you don't have atrun (i.e., System V) you are in trouble.
