echo 52 61 * *   roottest -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthly  /etc/crontab

will add that line to the end of crontab

you can also dump a file in cron.d.  Or in cron.daily etc.  Depends on what you
want.

ON DEBIAN ONLY:

bash$ CRONTAB_NOHEADER=Y (crontab -l ; echo new crontab line here) | crontab 
- 

should do the trick.The CRONTAB_NOHEADER is a debian change from the
normal conrtab command.
