DESCRIPTION
       crond  is  responsible  for scanning the crontab files and running their commands at the appropriate time.
       The crontab program communicates with crond through the  "cron.update"  file  which  resides  in  crontabs
       directory,  usually /var/spool/cron/crontabs.  This is accomplished by appending the filename of the modi‐
       fied or deleted crontab file to "cron.update" which crond then picks up to  resynchronize  or  remove  its
       internal representation of the file.
