Hi.
Currently the directories /etc/cron.{daily,hourly,monthly,weekly} are executed
like this:
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.monthly )
as defined in /etc/crontab.
The crontab keywords @daily,@hourly,@monthly,@weekly are defined like this:
@monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
@weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0".
@daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *".
@hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".
Perhaps I just don't see the reason, but is there any that these are not
aligned (i.e. all at minute 0
and - if applicable - hour 0, day 1)?
Cheers,
Chris.
