Changing time for scripts in /etc/cron.daily

[gallot]

Hello,

How can I change the time when /etc/cron.daily will run? I think I have done this before but just can't remember how it was done.

Thanks!

Assuming Linux - /etc/crontab.

 

[Bash]

It would depend on how your file directory was setup. Try using the locate command:

locate cron.daily

Then you will get a listing and be able to see where the file is exactly located.

/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.daily/0anacron
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
/etc/cron.daily/makewhatis.cron
/etc/cron.daily/rpm
/etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron
/etc/cron.daily/tetex.cron
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron
/var/spool/anacron/cron.daily

-Bash

Erm, no. The correct answer was given by sawbuck. /etc/crontab is the configuration file that disctates when cron.daily is actually run.
