@mariosipad

thanks, have done it..

I always think, that I'm doing something wrong with the LXTerminal: I changed your code by paste & copy and then have to save the file by "Ctrl + O", I see the file that is created and I see the folder "file:///tmp/crontab.H8sRv9" where two files are:

.crontab (content cryptic characters)
crontab contains:

# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').
#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
# 5 * * * * curl "https://freemyip.com/update?token=exxxxxxx&domain=huber70.freemyip.com" >/dev/null 2>&1

# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command

After I saved the file I exit the LXTerminal "Ctrl + X" and - the folder with the 2 files is away - is that correct? I can't believe this...
