Edit /etc/cron.d/cron-apt and change the time. 0 4 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && /usr/sbin/cron-apt ^ ^ Change these numbers to your time preference. See 'man 5 crontab' for full details of the format. In summary the first is the minute after the hour and the second is the hour. The above is 4am. If you want 11:32pm local time then change it to this. (11+12=23 hundred hours.) 32 23 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && /usr/sbin/cron-apt I believe avoiding the default time is probably a Good Thing otherwise if everyone installed cron-apt there would be a huge impulse spike at the top of the hour.
