Cheers to you all!

I have the following question:
let's say i have a special user john(RHEL 3),and his settings are :
/home/john/
/home/john/web/webalizer/webalizer.conf which is already configured
/home/john/web/usage/ where the whole usage statiscs from the webalizer
should be collected

in the webalizer.conf the OutputDir is already specified to: OutputDir
= /home/john/web/usage/  ;
the HostName is specified and the LogFile...
i want to add a cron job for this user ,but i'm still new to RHEL ,so my
questions are:
-how can i do this?(please ,step-by -step walkthrough as possible)
-what schould i be aware of/what should i pay attention to?
-when should i restart the cron daemon ,cuz there are other cron jobs
which run on special times ,as you can understand ,what i'm talking
about,right.
-is there a way to start only this special cron job ,which should  not
affect the other cron jobs and  when should i start this cron job as
best(time)
-if i modify the webalizer.conf ,should i restart the cronjob ,which is
related to this webalizer .conf file?

there is already a cron job for the webalizer regarding the server i'm
administering ,silly question:
let's say the server webalizer cron job is called 00webalizer;
can i just modify this cron job to 01webalizer regarding my user john
place it in /etc/cron.daily/ after that to start the job on a special time?


Many thanks in advance!

kindest regards!
