At what time does cron.daily run?

 

I wanna make sure it doesn't run at the same time as the mover script.

 

Also my syslog gets restarted after the mover script, so every morning it's pretty much blank (except for spindown commands). Anyway I can change that so I can see if there are any errors with the cron or mover scripts?

 

Thanks

type

crontab -l

to see how it is set on your system.

Thanks Joe L.

 

I will try it when I get home

Sorry but I have to ask what is cron.daily. ?

Google it.

Its basically a folder located at /etc/cron.daily and when you put a script in it, it will run "daily".

as well as:

 

/etc/cron.hourly/

/etc/cron.weekly/

/etc/cron.monthly/

in case anyone's looking for the quick answer, I am on 4.7 and my daily cron runs at 4:40am

Kizer thank you

 

I was wondering why the time 4:40 was chosen as the moment for daily cronjobs? Is there a special reason for this? I've added a custom subtitle-request script to the cron.daily, and it now runs at 4:40, which causes the array to spin up, which is not desirable. I've changed the cron.daily to be run at 00:00 so the server will mostly still be up. Unless there is a reason for this 4:40?

No reason.

If lime set the time my guess would be because it is 1 hour after mover runs and that was what was the expected time for mover to complete whenever this was originally setup.  But as I said it is just a guess on my part.

Slackware default is 4:20. It may have been 4:40 when unRAID was first developed.
