No Crontab For Mac
How do I schedule cron jobs on a mac? Is there a gui interface provided by apple for scheduling tasks on a mac, or should I just the cron command line like how you'd do it in linux?

I choose it over launchd, because I want to be able to use my new knowledge on Linux as well. However, I cannot seem to get the crontab -e command to work.

I am new at this so excuse any ignorant mistakes I might be making.
I have a server (MM X.4.9) that I would like to restart every day in order to make sure no programmes are hanging etc. If a program is hanging is should force quit it. Using terminal I have entered the following command:
sudo nano /etc/crontab
Entered password
Than I entered using tab between each sequence:
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
This was a test run and it did not reboot.
Entering
cat /etc/crontab
I got:
# The periodic and atrun jobs have moved to launchd jobs
# See /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
#
# minute hour mday month wday who command
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
What have I done wrong?
Thanks
