<snip> Nobody seems to want to tell you about the gui for cron. Actually, it's for crontab. cron is the daemon and you don't need to touch that. You communicate with cron via crontab, which is geek-speak for cron table. There's at least two GUIs for crontab, one for KDE and one for Gnome. The one for KDE is vastly superior. Its name is KCron. Assuming you're running OpenSuSE, KCron should be in your original distribution. Install it if necessary. The icon for KCron should appear in the System section of your applications menu. The icon is labeled "KCron" and its description is "Task Scheduler". I find it virtually self-explanatory. Good luck.
