Have a look to the script /etc/cron.daily/wn

cron executes daily weekly and monthly the contents of :
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.weekly
/etc/cron.monthly

depending on the contents of /etc/crontab 
/etc/crontab on my machine :
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command
42 6    * * *   root    run-parts /etc/cron.daily
47 6    * * 7   root    run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
52 6    1 * *   root    run-parts /etc/cron.monthly


So every day at 6:42 AM all the scripts in /etc/cron.daily will be
executed. In fact only those following the #!/bin/interpretername
convention (see man run-parts)

To get back to your pb, I don't actually know what 'wn' stands for, so you
need to look at /etc/cron.daily/wn or the
program it is linked to.
