Kudzuesque systemd appears to be taking over everything....
I want logwatch and other things to run at 04:30 or so, so here's what
I do as I install/upgrade to Debian 10 (buster):
* cp -rp /lib/systemd/system/anacron.timer /etc/systemd/system
* edit the "OnCalendar" line of /etc/systemd/system/anacron.timer to
suit:
sed -i.old -e's/07/04/' /etc/systemd/system/anacron.timer
* run "systemctl daemon-reload" to force reloading everything.
I expect you can adapt the sed edit to your own situation.
As Dan Ritter <dsr@randomstring.org> noted, this will affect every
anacron daily job. That's fine by me, you may prefer his other solution.
