When you type 'crontab -e' you are editing crontab jobs per user, not per job.

So just write new jobs on the new line.

for example:

crontab -e

#job1
0 0 * * * * /path/to/script1
5 0 * * * * /path/to/script2
0,15,30,45 * * * * /path/to/script3

and so on..

ZZ or :wq! to exit.

crontab -l to show your current cron file.

Just add it.

Add another line to your cronfile and/or just enter:

crontab -e
