It appears have run several minutes after wakeup. From reading man pages, it appears the lastrun file check is every 15 minutes.
The check, yes. The actual run of the scripts, depends. In the file /etc/sysconfig/cron there are some variables to adjust the hour preferred. For instance: # At which time cron.daily should start. Default is 15 minutes after booting # the system. Due to the fact that 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="" # Maximum days not running when using a fixed time set in DAILY_TIME. # 0 to skip this. This is for users who will power off their system. # # There is a fixed max. of 14 days set, if you want to override this # change MAX_NOT_RUN_FORCE in /usr/lib/cron/run-crons MAX_NOT_RUN="5" So, say, you can tell it to run at 22 hours every night; but if the machine is off 5 days on a row at that hour, it will run at most 15 minutes after boot (or awakening). I would prefer the DAILY_TIME be a range of hours, not a single hour. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
