A list of Cron jobs to be appended to the system-wide
crontab. See the manual page for crontab for the expected
format. If you want to get the results mailed you must setuid
sendmail. See <option>security.setuidOwners</option>
If neither /var/cron/cron.deny nor /var/cron/cron.allow exist only root
will is allowed to have its own crontab file. The /var/cron/cron.deny file
is created automatically for you. So every user can use a crontab.
Many nixos modules set systemCronJobs, so if you decide to disable vixie cron
and enable another cron daemon, you may want it to get its system crontab
based on systemCronJobs.
