Schedule and audit one-time FreeBSD jobs with at and batch, predictable environments, atrun timing, load controls, output capture, and safe cleanup.
Run FreeBSD cron jobs predictably with correct table formats, bounded commands, overlap control, daylight-saving behavior, output routing, and checks.
Operate FreeBSD periodic jobs with correct cron schedules, configuration layering, report routing, script status codes, and safe custom maintenance checks.
cron starts jobs with a small, non-interactive environment - make paths, interpreters, working directories, and logging explicit rather than sourcing a login shell.
