Uh, you mean the individual user's text crontab config file?

To install it as your own just type "crontab that-saved-config-file"

To see that its installed, "crontab -l"

To change it, "crontab -e"

See also crontab(1)


If you mean particular executable files called by items in the crontab
then I suggest using "cp -p" to copy while maintaining timestamp to
where ever you desire. Then edit your crontab to ensure it points at
those utilities/scripts.
