      You need to run 'crontab -e'.  This will start up a text editor from which you will be able to add a line like this:

      0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57 * * * * /usr/local/node-runner/node.start >> /tmp/outfile.txt

      Then save the file and exit and it will install the line into your cron.
