In my /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.
We can use crontab to edit a user-defined crontab files under /var/spool/cron/crontabs/, but can't use the same way to edit /etc/crontab or files under /etc/cron.d/. Are they supposed to be edited? If yes, how? Thanks.
