          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.

          Many nixos modules set systemCronJobs, so if you decide to disable vixie cron
          and enable another cron daemon, you may want it to get its system crontab
          based on systemCronJobs.
