While [[at]] is for scheduling a single task to run one time, [[cron]] is meant to set up a repetitive schedule. The configuration file is [[crontab]], usually found in /etc/crontab although it can also search through /var/cron/tabs.

The configuration files for [[cron]] are known as tabs. The systemwide cron tab may be found in /etc/crontab, while each of the user cron tabs are found in /var/cron/tabs.
		+
		+	Cron tabs should not be edited directly, but instead should be manipulated using the [[crontab]] utility. Note that the [[crontab]] utility fires up whatever editor is specified in the EDITOR environment variable, so if you aren't fond of [[vi]] you would be well advised to make sure to set EDITOR to ee or nano or whatever else you're comfortable with before firing it up.
