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.
