x.crontab can live wherever you&#x27;d like; you can even delete it after you install the crontab.  When you run the following command<p><pre><code>  crontab x.crontab
</code></pre>
your crontab file is replaced by the contents of x.contrab; or if you want to install x.crontab for another user<p><pre><code>  crontab -u www-user x.crontab
</code></pre>
The actual location of x.crontab does not matter as it is just used to setup your cron jobs, but the system does not actually read from this file to run the jobs.
