On-line Documentation for cron and crontab
You can type either or both of the following commands at the telnet or SSH prompt for the on-line cron and crontab manuals. (It is assumed that any hosting company with cron available also has the manuals on-line.)

man cron
man crontab

Those two on-line manuals provide a lot of technical information.
