I'm sorry, I wasn't specific enough. The square brackets were meant to indicate an optional argument, not to be typed in on the command line.
If you are logged in as the user that the cron job should run as, all you need to do is: crontab -e If, however, you are logged in as root, for example, and you want to add a cron job to the user "guest"'s cron, you would type: crontab -u guest -e Also, it is helpful to include the error message when you are getting an error.
