Update cron.md
crontab entries need a user. 
When copying and pasting the examples directly into my crontab, they were not running. Using a crontab checking utility, an error was generated:
`Checking correctness of /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
E: 6: */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/autorestic -v -c /root/.autorestic.yml --ci cron |& /usr/bin/logger -t autorestic > /dev/null 2>&1
e:    INVALID_USER: Invalid username "/usr/local/bin/autorestic"
E: There were 1 errors and 0 warnings.`

This update adds a username (root) to the example, which fixes the syntax error.

## Installing the cron

To actually enable cron jobs you need something to call `autorestic cron` on a timed schedule.
Note that the schedule has nothing to do with the `cron` attribute in each location.
My advise would be to trigger the command every 5min, but if you have a cronjob that runs only once a week, it's probably enough to schedule it once a day.

To debug a cron job you can use
```bash

*/5 * * * * root autorestic -c /path/to/my/.autorestic.yml --ci cron > /tmp/autorestic.log 2>&1

Now you can add as many `cron` attributes as you wish in the config file ⏱
