Several ways. 1/ Use the old style cron "crontab -e" will get you in to the crontab template where you can define what to run when eg 10 4 * * * /home/guy/myscript >/dev/null 2>&1 This says to run myscript at 10 minutes after 4am every day sending stderr and stdout to /dev./null. For details, see "man 5 crontab" 2/ Different implementations of /etc/cron.{daily|hourly...} can be modified. Some just need tweaks in /etc/crontab Others hardwire the time in the script run by /etc/crontab I think some have the time defined in /etc/sysconfig/cron On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 6:51 AM, Andreas wrote:

Hi,

my backup script is in /etc/chron.daily Until the last boot of my "server" the backups got made around 3-4 am. That was OK.

After the most recent reboot the time sits on 07.45am. Thats bad because so it wont finish in time before the next updates get done.

How to move the execution time of /etc/chron.daily further back in the deep night hours? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
