Feature changed by: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) Feature #310870, revision 3 Title: Add WEEKLY_TIME for weekly crons - openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed + openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Richard Ems (rems0) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When running cron jobs some of them can increase IO heavily, slowing the system down,  like suse-updatedb from findutils-locate, doing a large find on the filesystems. On production servers being used by several users, these scripts have to be started at non working hours. In /etc/sysconfig/cron we already have a variable called DAILY_TIME which controls at what time the scripts in /etc/cron.daily are being started by /usr/lib/cron/run-crons . A similar approach would be very useful for the weekly crons, allowing a better control of the day and time when weekly cron jobs are started.   + Discussion: + #1: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) (2016-11-29 13:39:33) + systemd now has other options for setting time and day of script + running. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310870
