Does anyone know when the scripts in /etc/cron.daily are being executed? It is of course once a day, but just when. Are the scripts examined every minuted by /usr/bin/cron? If so does it mean that the scripts in /etc/cron.daily could be executed just after booting? Just wondering.
Have a look at /etc/crontab, that's where it's run from. On my machine it says 14 4 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily and -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons
/dev/null 2>&1
so it gets run at 4.15 in the morning
