" You can execute crontab if your name appears in the file /usr/lib/cron/cron.allow. If that file does not exist, you can use
crontab if your name does not appear in the file /usr/lib/cron/cron.deny.
If only cron.deny exists and is empty, all users can use crontab. If neither file exists, only the root user can use crontab. The allow/deny files consist of one user name per line. "

Code:

##############################################################################
# minute (0-59),
# |      hour (0-23),
# |      |       day of the month (1-31),
# |      |       |       month of the year (1-12),
# |      |       |       |       day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).
# |      |       |       |       |       commands
# 3      2       *       *       0,6     /some/command/to/run
# 3      2       *       *       1-5     /another/command/to/run

so it might look this:

Code:

export EDITOR=vi
crontab -e
0 0 * * 6 /run/some/command
