Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2005-08-29 15:32:51 UTC

'man crond' (crond(8)) does document the /var/spool/cron directory.
  
The crontab(5) man-page only documents the format of crontab files;
The crontab(1) man-page only documents the usage of the crontab program and the
cron.{allow,deny} files.

The crond(8) man-page documents the file locations of all files used by crond.

Comment 2 Nigel Horne 2005-08-29 15:50:57 UTC

Neither crontab(1), nor crontab(5) cross reference crond(1), they both only
cross reference cron(1).
