cron, won't change time !
OK Ive looked into this, but I can't get it to work ...
my /etc/cron.daily executes at 7:35 AM +- a couple of mins.
I need it to execute at 1:30AM +-, no problem I thought .. I enterd
/etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=web
# m h dom mon dow user command
25 1 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily
47 6 * * 7 root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.weekly
52 6 1 * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthl

#
& changed cron.daily to 1:25 ... guess what 7:35 it executed ! I did a
/etc/init.d/cron restart, 7:35, I did a system re-boot, 7:35 !
I checked out anacron, I don't see how this can have an effect
Any Ideas what I am doing wrong ?
