However, I did not see the file updated from the time I set it until 6PM last night.
Actually, the 0anacron entry in /etc/cron.daily starts with: #!/bin/bash # wait for 3:02 when /etc/crontab runs cron.daily if [ `date +%H` -le 4 ]; then exit 0; fi This would explain why it is not working properly for both me and the OP. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
