I just want to share my system-wide fcrontab:

  $ sudo fcrontab -l systab
  PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

  !nice(15)
  !noticenotrun(false)
  !serial(true)

  %hourly  0-30  run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
  %daily   * *   run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
  %weekly  * *   run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly
  %monthly * * * run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly

I use fcron's capabilities to execute the files in
/etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/ once within each period.
