[techtalk] cron.hourly vs cron.daily timing

I'm configuring webalizer on my machine and am scheduling a cron job to process the web logs. I need to make sure the processing of web logs happens *before* the log rotator. The log rotator is called from a script in cron.monthly, and the log processor is going to be in cron.hourly (for now). Ca
