Down at the bottom of the output from "man crontab" you may see a line that says something like: See also crontab(5), cron(8) If you see something like that, it means that there may be more than one manpage for a given command. The number after crontab in the see also stuff, tells what section of man to look in. "man 5 crontab" will get you that info. It is always worth chasing a few of the refs down, its surprising what is out there.
