Per the subject line, what controls the time of the running of scripts
located in the /etc/cron.[daily|weekly|hourly] directories?
Specifically with CentOS 6.* I've noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.daily
and /etc/cron.weekly run at different times of the day, or on different
days. In my experience on other rpm-based distributions, cron daily and
weekly scripts run at 4am; those that are run weekly run at 4am on Sunday
morning.
Seems like there is some info in:
man anacrontab
Greetings,
Much thanks to all for the replies. I now understand the logic of what is
happening (I'm a two CentOS server, three Fedora desk/laptop person,
myself; I do SQL and other things for food, not sysadmin). Having
acclimated to precise delivery of sysadmin-related reports
(logwatch, rkhunter, etc) showing timestamps of 4am (or thereabouts), I
was caught by surprise after making a necessary move from CentOS 5 to
CentOS 6, with what appeared to be erratic delivery of
cron.daily-/cron.weekly-driven sysadmin reporting.
Thanks again, more questions soon.
