Also this sample Dockerfile from ChatGPT:

`FROM ubuntu:20.04

Install cron

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y cron

Add crontab file

ADD crontab /etc/cron.d/maintenance-script

Give execution rights to the cron job

RUN chmod 0644 /etc/cron.d/maintenance-script

Apply cron job

RUN crontab /etc/cron.d/maintenance-script

Create the log file to be able to run tail

RUN touch /var/log/cron.log

Run the command on container startup

CMD crond && tail -f /var/log/cron.log `
