You need to reschedule the cron.daily jobs. If your system is running 24h, it's a good idea to move them to the night.

Use the first method, with at.
The other methods on this page are garbage and should be removed completely. Changing the system time is ridiculous, and touch simply doesn't work, no need to try out. If I ever come around, I'll update that page...
Or maybe look at /etc/sysconfig/cron and change the time to something more suitable.
# At which time cron.daily should start. Default is 15 minutes after booting # the system. Due the cron script runs only every 15 minutes, it will only # run on xx:00, xx:15, xx:30, xx:45, not at the accurate time you set. DAILY_TIME="04:00"
AFAIR, the OP asked for 10.0 -- this sysconfig variable is new in 10.1. puma:~ $ cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) VERSION = 10.0 puma:~ $ grep DAILY /etc/sysconfig/cron puma:~ $ grep DAILY /usr/lib/cron/run-crons puma:~ $ The better solution for 10.1 should be mentioned on the Wiki as well, however; I think we're in full agreement for that.
