Is it a Unix system? You don't need to modify the /etc/crontab to add
your own entries. Just edit a file that has the same syntax as the
/etc/ file somewhere in your home directory, and run:

crontab filename

Use 'crontab -l' to list the current entries for the user you're
logged in as, and 'crontab -r' to remove all of them to be able to
start fresh.

Hope this helps,
