That should be running around 4am. However if your system clock is off or if your system is powered off at that time, it may end up running at a different time (possibly due to anacron). Also, by default it should be set to nice of +19, the lowest priority. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
