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:~ $
It may be newly documented in 10.1, but I tried in my 10.0 system, where there was no existing value in /etc/sysconfig/cron, and found that it _did_ control the execution time of the daily tasks.
Are you sure?
I'm sure that when I added that control parameter to my my /etc/sysconfig/cron file that the next two days (all that have passed, so far) the Beagle indexing has happened at 4:00 AM as I indicated.
