In /etc you will find a file called crontab. Do not edit this file, but
take a look at it. It calls several other files at the appropriate times.
Instead edit cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, cron.monday etc.
These directories and anything in them gets run as specified in
/etc/crontab
Just put links to your programs in these directories and cron will run
them when apropriate.
