How to setup Crontab for an Eggdrop?

PART 1:
"botchk" setup
locate the botchk file in the bots main dir.
type ->     pico botchk    
      You need to edit 4 things in the "botchk"
# change this to the directory you run your bot from:
botdir="/usr/home/user/botdir/"

# change this to the name of your bot's script in that directory:
botscript="./eggdrop eggdrop.conf"

# change this to the nickname of your bot (capitalization COUNTS)
botname="BotNick"

# change this to the name of your bot's userfile (capitalization COUNTS)
userfile="bot.user"
type ->     ctrl+o     Save the file
type ->     ctrl+x     exit pico

PART 2:
Setting up the crontab file
type ->     pico crones     this will be your crontab file
type ->     0,10,20,30,40,50     * * * *      /home/user/botdir/botchk      >/dev/null 2>&1
-     ^--(1)     ^--(2)     ^--(3)     ^--(4)
-     1. time in (minutes) it will check to see if the bot is running
2. tells it to run every hour/day of month/month/year
3. full system path to the location of your botchk file
4. tells the system not to send you mail everytime crontab loads the bot or checks to see if the bot is running (this is a good idea because some sys admins might get upset with all of the emails)
type ->     ctrl+o     Save the file
type ->     ctrl+x     exit pico
type ->     crontab crones     This will load the file "crones" into your crontab. You can check your crontab by typing "crontab -l"
