    ADD CRONTAB ENTRY

    A crontab entry consists of six fields. Any combination of the five
    time fields (minutes, hours, days, months, and/or days) define when
    the command (sixth field) will execute. By default, the job will run
    every hour if all the time fields are left blank.

    Note: This feature is system dependent; you may not be able to use
    all combinations of time settings on your system. Check your local
    cron for its precise workings.

    The window has the following fields:

    Hostname

    If you want to limit this job to specific hostnames within a pool,
    enter those hostnames in this field. If you are using multiple
    entries, leave a blank between each entry. You can also use the
    arrow button to the right to select the available hosts from the
    current pool.
