Description Alexander Todorov 2012-03-14 19:59:50 UTC
Description of problem:

At present Express has the 
daily,hourly,minutely,monthly and weekly directories under cron/

README says that scripts in these directories are executed by run-parts. It is not possible to execute a job at say 4:30 every Monday. or every 45 minutes, etc.

Allowing crontab files in the cron cartridge will make it much more flexible.

Changing severity to low since this is an enhancement.

Comment 2 Mike McGrath 2012-05-15 17:11:43 UTC
As much as I'd like this feature, I'm Closing as WONTFIX.  We're evaluating some different infrastructure for more customized scheduled jobs.  Unfortunately there are a number of issues with cron running as multiple users (it was designed to run as root).  As such we're having to look elsewhere for a proper scheduler.
