How to Use Crontab

Crontab is a powerful tool for scheduling tasks on Linux/Unix systems. Here's a basic guide:

1. Edit crontab: Use the command crontab -e to open the crontab file in a text editor.
2. Add expressions: Each line in the crontab file represents a cron job. Use the crontab expression format to specify when the task should run.
3. Save and exit: Save the changes and exit the editor. Crontab will automatically load the new schedule.
