CRON directories.
 

Hi everyone,

Good day, Im trying to modify the directories that holds the cron files created by users/packge, but I cant find which config I should modify, is it really feasible? if yes kindly provide your inputs.

for example I want to move the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/USER-cron-entry to /etc/cron.available, on what config should I look? is it possible to modify the directories that holds cron files created by users?

Thanks

You could modify source files for all commands that touch cron files then recompile which would be quite an undertaking. You'd also have to remember to re-edit every time upstream commands were updated and applied.

Were it me I'd simply make a symbolic link instead.

Alternatively you could use the remount option of mount command:
