 ## Intro
 
-This extension helps to execute a command based on a schedule.
+This DDEV add-on helps to execute a command in the web container based on a cron schedule. Cron is a classic Linux/Unix service with a well-known configuration syntax.
+
+The add-on 
+* Installs and runs the cron service inside the web container
+* Adds a sample cron configuration that adds to a file every minute.
+
+**Warning**
+If you already have a `.ddev/web-build/Dockerfile` in your project, you'll want to adapt it with
+the one provided here, and `ddev get` will override the one you have.
 
-It does this by a creating a new crontab job at startup and executing it at the specified time.
 
 This extension is designed to be a generic implentation. See [Running TYPO3 Cron inside the web container](https://github.com/drud/ddev-contrib/tree/master/recipes/cronjob) for a specific example of a manual setup.
 
 ## Getting started
 
-- Install the service
+- Install the add-on
 
 ```shell
 ddev get tyler36/cron
 ```
 
-- Update `./.ddev/config.cron.yml` with your requirments.
-- Restart DDEV
+- Update the provided `./.ddev/config.cron.yaml` as you see fit with your expected cron jobs (and remove the demonstration line). You can also just add the demonstration lines to your `.ddev/config.yaml`.
+- `ddev restart`
 
-```shell
-ddev restart
-```
 
 ## Implementation
 
-The `config.cron.yml` is a simple implentation of cron within the DDEV web container.
-
-It has 3 main parts:
-
-- Install the cron package
-- Write a crontab file
-- Update the permissions and start the cron service.
+The provided `web-build/Dockerfile` and `web-build/cron.conf` configure the traditional cron daemon to run inside the web container.
 
-```yml
-# Install required packages
-webimage_extra_packages: [cron]
+The `config.cron.yaml` is a simple implentation of cron within the DDEV web container. It writes a crontab file to configure the cron daemon.
 
+```yaml
 hooks:
   post-start:
-      # This line creates a job, ddev-cron-time, and configures it to run every minute
+      # This line creates a cron job, ddev-cron-time, and configures it to run every minute
     - exec: echo '*/1 * * * * root date | tee -a /var/www/html/time.log' | sudo tee -a /etc/cron.d/ddev-cron-time
-      # This line sets permissions ands starts the cron service
-    - exec: sudo chmod 0600 /etc/cron.d/ddev-cron-time && sudo service cron start
 ```
 
 The default file configures a job (`ddev-cron-time`) to write the date to a log file `time.log` every minute.
-It is a simple arbitary example to show the service is working, and remind the user to change it to something more appropriate.
