crontab is a configuration file in the /etc folder that tells the cron daemon when to perform what commands. It can look like this:
# Sample crontab file */10 * * * * fetchmail -p pop3 -u 612696 -v pop.gmx.net
A line starting with a # is a comment. The other line in this example follows the form
<minute> <hour> <day of month> <month> <day of week> <command>
