When you edit/create those kinds of crontab files, each line has a
special format the describes what command to run and when to run it.
See "man 5 crontab" for details.  But here is an example.

10 4 * * * some_command

It says to run "some_command" at 0410 each day.

"chmod +x filename" will make 'filename' executable.
