Hello,
from man:
Quote:
cron also reads /etc/crontab, which is in a slightly different format (see crontab(5)). Additionally, cron reads the files in /etc/cron.d: it treats the files in /etc/cron.d as in the same way as the /etc/crontab file (they follow the special format of that file, i.e. they include the user field).
So you can:
1. place your other crontabs to /etc/cron.d
2. symlink /test/crontab to /etc/cron.d/, for ex. ln -s /test/crontab /etc/cron.d/mynewcrontab
