nope.

if you look at /etc/crontab, there are entries for 

run-parts /etc/cron.daily
run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

etc...



run-parts is a program that goes through the folder (say, cron.daily) and
runs anything in it.

so if you put a file called script.sh in cron.daily, the contents being

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/rdate -s bitsy.mit.edu



and then set that to executable, every day, run-parts would execute that
script.
