Er, I don't know what that file is, but yeah, don't do that :)

1. If it's something you'd like to run for 'yourself', then you
   can type 'crontab -e' and enter a cronjob there.
2. If it's something that you'd like to run for a project, you
   should be able to 'sudo -u mapserver crontab -e' so that you
   can edit MapServer's crontab directly, and use that to prevent
   some issues with permissions and the like.
