+# If you don't want the output of a cron job mailed to you, you have to direct
+# any output to /dev/null. We'll do this here since these jobs should run
+# properly on a newly installed system, but if they don't the average newbie
+# might get quite perplexed about getting strange mail every 5 minutes. :^)
+#
+# Run the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly cron jobs.
+# Jobs that need different timing may be entered into the crontab as before,
+# but most really don't need greater granularity than this. If the exact
+# times of the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly cron jobs do not suit your
+# needs, feel free to adjust them.
+#
+# Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the hour:
+47 * * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 1> /dev/null
+#
+# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
+40 4 * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null
+#
+# Run weekly cron jobs at 4:30 on the first day of the week:
