nixpkgs/modules/services/scheduling/cron.nix
Eelco Dolstra 60b3f95ad8 * Move the definition of the set of system packages to
modules/config/system-path.nix.  system/system.nix is now almost
  empty.
* Removed the cleanStart option - it should be possible to get the
  same functionality by overriding config.system.path (or defining
  config.system.systemPackages with a higher priority - don't know if
  that works though).

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.
