By default, "crontab -l" will emit the user's crontab as stored in "/var/spool/cron/crontabs". This file persists within the pool in the global zone, under the "zones/var" dataset. In order to allow the _platform_ to ship crontab entries for system tasks, we added a second crontab location. If you use "crontab -l -g", you will see the crontab stored at "/etc/cron.d/crontabs"; these crontabs are shipped in the platform image. The "-g" flag is also described in the crontab(1) manual page. There are various log rotation and prune tasks scheduled within the global (-g) crontab for root. Some of them apparently need bugs filed and work done. Cheers. -- Joshua M.
