First off, if you want it to run in the system cron, just
/etc/crontab, on the other hand if you want it as an user cron, just:
crontab -e
Anyways, this is an example of a basic job running daily at, for
instance, 11:00 AM
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
00 11 * * * root /home/manu/babelserver.sh
got it?
You might want to read the Crontab manual.
Hope this helps
All the best.
Manuel.
