What is the difference between the purposes of
/etc/crontab
- files under
/etc/cron.d/
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
If you want to add a cron job, into which file would you add it?
manpage of cron(8) Says
/etc/cron.d/: directory that contains system cronjobs stored for
different users.
What does "stored for different users" mean?
It looks confusing with files under /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
.
Thanks.
