Quoting Jim Flanagan <linuxjim@jjfiii.com>: [snip]
IIRC Rkhunter was setup to run at a certain time (set up by itself at installation of the opensuse rpm), say 0830. If I had the machine off during that time, it would run shortly after boot, unless it had already previously run that day. Once it ran at that later time, it would continue to run at that later time every day (again unless the machine happened to be off at that time in which case it would run at boot again).
You have just described the behavior of scripts in /etc/cron.daily/. I'd add the additional information that they are checked/run on 15 minute intervals, e.g. 8:00, 8:15, 8:30, 8:45, etc. HTH, Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
