I have put this in using crontab -e so that all the info is there when I do
my next edit:

#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

It is at the top and then my cron jobs are lined up under it.
