to edit your crontab:

  crontab -u youruser -e

to show the contents of your crontab:

  crontab -u youruser -l


my crontab contains the following:

===== snip =====
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (mm), hour (hh), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').
#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron system's
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# mm  hh  dom  mon  dow  command
# ||  ||  |||  |||  |||  |||||||
# ||  ||  |||  |||  |||  |||||||
# pack the message bases at midnight of every day
   0   0    *    *    *  /home/myuser/fido/bin/sqpack "*"

# poll the boss node at hh:48 every hour of every day
  48   *    *    *    *  /usr/bin/touch /home/fido/out/fidonet/0e32000c.ilo
