e2b25f9434 Use environment.etc to manage /etc/crontab
Otherwise, /etc/crontab won't be deleted when cron is disabled.

201f9beddb Don't enable cron by default
The rationale for disabling this is: 1) systemd timers are better; 2)
it gets rid of one usually unnecessary process, which makes containers
more light-weight.

Note that cron is still enabled if services.cron.systemCronJobs is
non-empty, so this only matters if you have no declarative cron jobs
but do have user cron jobs.

b48e41b8d7 cron: make into systemd.service and make it depend on /etc/localtime
so that changes in timezone will trigger a restart of cron service.

57721a2888 nixos: Add option services.cron.cronFiles
This allows you to configure extra files that should be appended to your
crontab. Implemented by writing to /etc/crontab when the cron service starts.
Would be nicer to use a cron that supports /etc/cron.d but that would require
us to patch vixie-cron.

b3cfb9084b Get all lib functions from lib, not pkgs.lib, in modules 2014-07-02 12:28:18 -04:00

29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
