Description

Traditional cron scripts can be run through systemd units and timers instead of a separate cron daemon. This is useful for systems standardizing scheduled jobs around systemd supervision and logging.

The package affects scheduled command execution. Administrators should review which scripts are enabled, what user runs them, and how logs and failures are handled.
