To be verbose ...

webmin/software
-> Search for cron
--> anacron 2.3-17
--> crontabs 1.10-1
--> vixie-cron 3.0.1-63

webmin/webmin/edit_os.cgi
-> Redhat Linux 7.2

webmin/config.cgi?cron

-> Supports Vixie-Cron extensions? - Yes
-> Path to Vixie-Cron system crontab file - /etc/crontab

I will send you other details via feedback if necessary ...


kind regards
