+Cron Cookbook
+==================
+
+Schedules tasks for apps. It simply adds entries to the root crontab
+with commands that will be ran within the context of the app.
+
+Attributes
+----------
+
+#### sysadmins::default
+<table>
+  <tr>
+    <th>Key</th>
+    <th>Type</th>
+    <th>Description</th>
+    <th>Default</th>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><tt>['cron']></td>
+    <td>Hash</td>
+    <td>key: identifier</td>
+    <td><tt>empty, won't schedule tasks.</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Add cron to your node configuration:
+
+```@json
+{
+"cron": {
+  "sitemap": {
+    "minute": 0,
+    "hour": 5,
+    "command": "rake -s sitemap:refresh"
+  }
+}
+```
+This runs the command `..... bundle exec rake -s sitemap:refresh` every
+day at 5:00.
+
+See the full list of available attributes at [the cron resource
+documentation](http://docs.chef.io/resource_cron.html).
+
+All attributes will be passed literarally from the node configuration
+into the cron resource. With a few exceptions:
+
+* Command will be prefixed with code so it runs within the app current dir.
+* User defaults to the deploy\_user for the app ("deploy"). Be carefull when overriding.
