+# Cron Plugin: The goal of this plugin is to provide an indempotent method for
+# setting up cron jobs on a host. The script will play well with other manually
+# entered crons. Each cron job entered will be preceded with a comment
+# describing the job so that it can be found later, which is required to be
+# present in order for this plugin to find/modify the job.
