I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have
too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another
120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo).
crontab (and the files in /var/spool/cron) are for manual updates to the
scheduled jobs.
For automated updates, the "official" way is /etc/cron.d
So, if you want to automate the creation/removal of cron jobs, just
create/remove files in /etc/cron.d
crontab and the associated files are NOT the appropriate tool for that
purpose.
Just create a file called /etc/cron.d/nagios-megaraid containing the
line you specified.
