As root (or as any user) you should use crontab -e to Edit your crontab.
Then all is done for you properly.
The crontab files are in /var/cron/tabs one per user. The file has the
name of the username... so "root" for root.
The /etc/{daily,weekly,...} files can also be used, but they occur only
at daily, weekly and monthly times (scheduled, actually, in cron). You
should create/edit the *.local version of these files and leave the
original versions as is.
Gilles.
