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.

Which can be solved by an additional server.

Boom, problem solved.
