9.5.1 Cron job file names
-------------------------

The file name of a cron job file should normally match the name of the
package from which it comes.

If a package supplies multiple cron job files files in the same
directory, the file names should all start with the name of the package
(possibly modified as described below) followed by a hyphen (‘-’) and a
suitable suffix.

A cron job file name must not include any period or plus characters (‘.’
or ‘+’) characters as this will cause cron to ignore the file.
Underscores (‘_’) should be used instead of ‘.’ and ‘+’ characters.
