If you want something to run at a different time of day than the daily
scripts. You could modify /etc/crontab and move the time around, but the rest
of the scripts still follow and most of us have been trained to never monkey
with files in /etc except a few.

Also, typing 'crontab -e' is extremely simple when all you have to do is run a
single command.
