Are you asking how to enable the use of cron for your account? Be sure that the cron daemon is running.
1) Create /etc/cron.d/cron.allow file with your user ID in it
2) crontab -e
3) add your entries

hi, yes i want to enable cron on my account, the deamon was running under root.

when i command user "user1"

$ EDITOR=vi
$ export EDITOR
$ crontab -e

i can assigned the crontab, but when i logout it was disappeared.

When you do the :wq! to write and quick your vi session, are there any messages displayed? If you executed a "crontab -e" afterwords, the file is empty?
