Apparently, I've a lot of users using exactly the same cron setting and this is causing high server load. Can we prevent users from using the same cron setting when there's too many users already using it?

For example, if there's x numbers of users that use the following cron schedule: 0 1 * * *, is it possible to prevent future users in using the same cron setting?

I think the only way is to deny the user from creating cron jobs. You may use the file /etc/cron.deny . Or the user specific crons are available at /var/spool/cron/username

Cheers!!!
