Kevin,
Have you read the "cron" manual page? Try this:
man cron
There are a number of questions that arise from this very brief description
you offer. Honestly, it would be much better to speak to somebody over the
telephone because there are a series of "Did you do . . .? Then you have to
do . . ." scenarios.
If you are in the contiguous United States and send me your telephone number
with a "best time to call" I'll try helping you out. I'm not a Linux
administrator, but I was a professional Unix® Systems programmer for almost
20 years at Bell Labs; I have quite a lot of experience with cron jobs
because I used to set up and maintain such animals for some of the DB
administration I handled.
