man crontab essentially you just need to load it into your crontab.
crontab /path/to/cron.txt should do it. -=- What I do is keep a file in my home directory called crontab.txt That's the file I edit. When I add something to my crontab- I add it to that file. Then I run crontab ~/crontab.txt to load it. This is important because the crontab command deletes everything currently in your crontab (probably nothing if you've never done this before) replacing it with the contents of the text file you specify.
