# Pi-hole: Update the ad sources once a week on Sunday at a random time in the 
# early morning. Download any updates from the adlists 
# 9 3 * * 7 root PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/" pihole updateGravity

Pi-Hole is already set up to update gravity weekly on Sunday morning at a time between 0300 and 0500 (0309 in your case). The random time avoids excessive server queries at once from all Pi-Hole users.

# Pi-hole: Flush the log daily at 00:100:  
# The flush script will use logrotate if available # parameter "once": logrotate only once (default is twice) 
# parameter "quiet": don't print messages 
# 00 00 * * * root PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/" pihole flush once quiet 
# @reboot root /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/pihole/logrotate

Commenting out these cron lines disables these features.

Your proposed system update cron should be in addition to the existing Pi-Hole cron script, rather than replacing the script.

This cron is not necessary. On the master branch, changes occur infrequently and are announced and would be shown as an update available on your dashboard through the existing version checks.
