You can edit it for global cron jobs (or you can drop files
in the /etc/cron.d/ directory). In fact I do edit it: I move
everything out of the /etc/anacrontab file and back into
/etc/crontab where it will run at a known time rather than
a random time (or course, I have to change the syntax and
say what time I want it to run).
