The command "man cron" (or "man xxxxxx" for that matter) will bring up
the man (that is, manual) pages on the given command. These are
generally quite useful; definitely the cron man page *is* useful. At the
end you may find a section labeled "SEE ALSO;" these are related
commands. If you see cron(5), than means the man pages, section 5, so
you'd type "man 5 cron" in that case. (I made up that example.)

You can run from cron basically most commands that you could run from
the command line, so get your script into such a shape that you can run
it from the CL and you'll then be able to run it from cron.

To see your crontab (list of cron jobs), do "crontab -l" and to edit it,
do "crontab -e". Do be careful, of course.

No idea, but the above should sort of get you started. Others here with
more experience may be able to take you further.
