Hi,

The daily regeneration of my locate database (the execution
of "updatedb") is occurring at an inopportune time and I'd like to
change it (this system runs 24/7).

How can this be accomplished?

...

... in later suse versions, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/cron and
set DAILY_TIME to the time at which you want it to run, but this
will then affect all jobs in cron.daily

One follow-up: After changing this configuration parameter, what, if
anything, must I do to put it into effect?
