nixpkgs/modules/services/scheduling/cron.nix
Eelco Dolstra e91d882a94 * Converted modules that were still using the old (concrete syntax)
style of declaring Upstart jobs.  While at it, converted them to the
  current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
  Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

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.
