Vince; sudo crontab -e is exactly what I have done. Following is the snip (email redacted) from the nano editor before I hit "control O" to save (it says it will be saved in /etc/crontab.xxxxxx/crontab) and then rebooted.
I assume that the 35 20 * * * will run the top command at 35 minutes after 8 pm local time. I would also assume that it is not UTC as the Pi is on local time. If these assumptions are correct the file should have been written to /etc at 8:35:00PM, but it was not. The problem I am having (and I have looked in a LOT of places including edx) is that none have answered this question: once I save the crontab, why does a "new" one come up rather than the edited version when I run sudo crontab -e again? If I go (as root) to /etc/crontab.xxxxxx/crontab and open crontab with nano the lines I incorporated are not there. Since this is happening I can only figure that my edits are not sticking. So, trust me when I say that I have been going at this for quite a while before I thought of bringing it here.
