Install the cron package. This contains crond, the cron daemod, and
crontab, the program used to manipulate the per user files in
/var/lib/cron/crontabs which scedule jobs on a regular basis.
This is used to do system backups during off-peak times and a myriad of
other system maintenance tasks that must occur on a regular basis. Do
man crontab for more detail.

It's the c preprocessor in interpreters. Install the cpp package.
