RE: debian cron: How do I change when /etc/cron.daily/standard is scheduled?
hi
Under Debian, you just need to edit the /etc/crontab file. The system
automatically reloads the file, you can double-check for the reload by
looking at the cron log, e.g. "tail -n 20 /var/log/cron.log", for an entry
like this:
"Jul 3 00:02:01 [servername] /usr/sbin/cron[295]: (*system*) RELOAD
(/etc/crontab)"

Subject: debian cron: How do I change when /etc/cron.daily/standard is
scheduled?
Please help.
My Debian workstation is veerry slow for 30 minutes at 06:30 a.m. when I
start work.
The following command is running:
"find / /dev/pts /var /usr /redhat ................."
This is called from :
22821 22770 0 06:50 ? 00:00:00 sh /usr/sbin/checksecurity
which is called from:
22770 21282 0 06:50 ? 00:00:00 sh /etc/cron.daily/standard
which is called from
21282 21281 0 06:25 ? 00:00:00 run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
How do I reschedule this maintenance to around 03:00? The 'man cron' page is
not clear:
"/etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} directories allow to add a crontab file
to /etc/cron.d."
Thank you
