i always put this as a comment on the top of my crontab,
as a reminder
#minute hour mday month wday command
and then add a comment before each entry so its easier to
understand the intention of the entry.
# at 7am every day run yourcommand and save the output to
# outfile
0 7 * * * /full-path-to/yourcommand > /tmp/outfile 2>&1
