Just learned it today! 😃

Make a textfile cronfile.txt:
15 /dir/to/php -q /home/me/test.php

Load the textfile into crontab:

$ crontab cronfile.txt

Confirm that the textfile was added with crontab -l:

$ crontab -l

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.

(cronfile.txt installed on Tue Jun 12 12:53:26 2001)

15 /dir/to/php -q /home/me/test.php
