The system crontab uses a file /etc/crontab. This is to be distinguished from any particular user's crontab; users' crontab files are in /var/spool/cron/crontabs. The difference between the system crontab file and users' crontab files are mentioned in the man page for cron. So just edit the file: /etc/crontab The first two values on each non-commented line are (1) the minute after the hour when a command runs, and (2) the hour when the command runs. The details of the format of the system crontab file and other crontab files can be reviewed by executing: man 5 crontab Hope that helps.
