I think I answered this question in the mail I just sent out a moment ago, so I won't repeat it. But I found where you can get the crontab info that you wanted. Run the following command. man 5 crontab There are different areas of man pages. They are categorized. One area describes how to run a binary while another area describes file formats. I think there are at least 8 areas, not sure what they are. You can also run... man 1 crontab That is likely the page you were getting before.
