Best practices for virtual servers crontab

Hi, as you know many web applications need scheduled jobs in crontab. We used to set them by running "crontab -e" from the owner shell. However:

1) is there a way to configure crontab directly from Virtualmin web interface? 2) does this crontab configuration survive a virtual server backup and restore onto a new Virtualmin instance?

Thanks in advance! -Nick

1) Yes, Webmin has a cron module under the "System -> Schedules Cron Jobs"

2) No, right now there's no way to associate cron jobs with Virtualmin virtual servers, so they aren't included in backups. Might be a nice idea though to put that on the developers' to do list! :)
