Yup.

Actually I guess that's the way to go. If it's a computer that
doesn't have a permanent internet connection, you might consider
writing a short script that checks for an active connection and only
downloads then.

It's also better to run "crontab -e" from your normal user account
and add the entry there, instead of writing to the global
/etc/crontab.
