# Cron Plugin: The goal of this plugin is to provide an indempotent method for
# setting up cron jobs on a host. The script will play well with other manually
# entered crons. Each cron job entered will be preceded with a comment
# describing the job so that it can be found later, which is required to be
# present in order for this plugin to find/modify the job.
#
# This module is based on python-crontab by Martin Owens.
