+# set a user name for writing unique log files. this is important because crontab doesn't have USER defined,

+# the guts of the crontab would go here. it would spell out some time or times for the command to be executed.
+# it's actually okay to have a really long command with multiple sub-commands; just put it inside parentheses to group
+# a bunch of commands together. there are many examples of doing this in the other files.
+# also, it's often important to send the output someplace. /dev/null works if you don't ever want to see it, but i
+# prefer to write log files in the /tmp directory which include the user name defined above.
