Create a file with the following in it:

0 * * * * /path/to/command

...save the file then type:

crontab /path/to/file/u/just/created

And you're set. Here's what the 0 and the following 4 stars represent.

field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

The above file I told you create will run the script every 0 minute of every hour, every day of the month, every month, every day of the week. Hence every hour on the hour it will run.
