From d6c9727c422499bf99b9590e1d57f8e40d56dcde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dougb Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 18:16:46 +0000 Subject: When to run the periodic/daily event has had several rounds of discussion over the past couple years. The most recent came to the general consensus that this was the best time, but no one actually made the change, so I'll don my asbestos undies and dive in. Please note that this time was chosen with input from people in various countries with various methods and schedules for switching to and from DST. There is no perfect time to schedule this job that works for everyone, but this time both A) Works for more people, and B) Causes problems for fewer people. And, ultimately, you can always change it if you need to. --- etc/crontab | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/etc/crontab b/etc/crontab index 49076d0..fde18df 100644 --- a/etc/crontab +++ b/etc/crontab @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ HOME=/var/log 0 * * * * root newsyslog # # do daily/weekly/monthly maintenance -59 1 * * * root periodic daily +1 3 * * * root periodic daily 30 3 * * 6 root periodic weekly 30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly # -- cgit v1.1
