Chapter 13. Maintaining the crontabs file

The SP system uses the crontabs file to periodically update file collections and clean up log files. The installation process appends entries to the crontabs files in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root on the control workstation and each of the nodes. The files contain different entries depending on their location.
