To edit the crontab file, run the command in Terminal: 'crontab -e'. This allows you to schedule tasks directly without needing any additional software.
The basic syntax for a crontab entry is '* * * * * /path/to/python /path/to/your/script.py' where each '*' indicates scheduled timing components for minutes, hours, and days.
Verifying crontab is straightforward; create a Python script that logs current time to a file each time it runs to confirm the scheduled task works correctly.
Save the crontab changes using Ctrl + O, then confirm by hitting Enter, followed by Ctrl + X to exit. This process finalizes your scheduled tasks.
