Use /etc/cron.d/ispconfig rather than /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root ?

    When installing ispconfig, it adds following lines into /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root . I guess it's not really nice place for scripts to automaticaly put their crons into. Stuff like this should be put in /etc/crond.d/[package_name], therefore /etc/cron.d/ispconfig would make more sense for me.

    What do you think?
    Cheers Tom.

    I'd prefer that location too, and you could sure make a feature request in the bug tracker. One issue to consider is that likely not all OS versions that ispconfig supports use /etc/cron.d/, so the current behavior might need to be a fallback, but I'd say use it where it's supported.
