Sorry, posted with wrong subject line
Had lots of replies on this one - thank you everyone. In short:
[SUMMARY]
The ONE CRON PROCESS handles the cron jobs for all the users.
EACH USER has his own crontab file. [See the manpage for crontab to
control permission on using crontab.]
The file specified is the crontab file for the user "sys".
As root, type:
crontab -e sys
and add the lines there.
[ANOTHER REPLY]
I believe what you are asking is whether or not you can have multiple
crontab files per user. The answer is no.
