Any problem in server administration can be solved with an additional crontab entry. Except for the problem of too many crontab entries.
And that's why I added a crontab entry that periodically purges my cron configuration. That way, I'm forced to readd only the truly necessary cron jobs, successfully reducing the amount of crontab entries.
