Sorry about that last send. :|

Let's take a look at automating when commands and scripts are run using cron. If
you are not familiar with cron, I would suggest looking up some tutorials on
this tool. Even regular users would benefit from using it.

Part 1: What is the command and switches for editing the crontab file and
listing the crontab jobs?

Part 2: When will this script be run?
36   5   12   6   *   /script/file

Part 3: Where would you put a script if you simply needed it to be run hourly,
daily, weekly, and/or monthly without needing to create a crontab entry? The
answer should have a separate location for each time period.

Part 4: Where would regular users put their crontab entries?
