Re: Docs for cron.daily?
cron.daily, etc run at the times specified in the file /etc/crontab .
The format's pretty obvious, basically MINUTE, HOUR, DAY OF MONTH,
MONTH, DAY OF WEEK, with a * meaning run always.

Thus, by default, cron.daily is run at 6:42am everyday, cron.weekly as
6:47am every Sunday and cron.monthly at 6:52 every 1st of all months.
Hope that helps,
