Description

Description of Issue:
The AIDE periodic crontab checks account for the majority of user cases, however the remdediation is set in stone.
I would think it would be possible to make a variable and fill in the cron time field with whatever the user wants using a tailor file.

Ex.
var = string value ( "5 0 * * *") or string value (@weekly)

$var /usr/sbin/aide --check

Could this be done with a single var file with type: string and options?
options:
default: "5 0 * * *"
weekly: "@weekly"

Or would one need to use templates or force the user to set a variable for each cron time field?

I've dug around somewhat in the codebase so far, but I'm not seeing any examples where someone has done something similar. Also, is there a documented location for the variable file syntax? Maybe I didn't dig far enough.

Thanks
