I'd like to change the time updatedb is run. I've figured out it is
run from a cron.daily entry and further investigation reveals the
following file:
---------------------
/etc>more anacrontab
# /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron
# See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# These replace cron's entries
1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
7 10 cron.weekly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 15 cron.monthly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly
----------------------
It looks like cron.daily is run daily at one minute past 5:00 AM. Can
I edit this file so that it runs an hour (or two) earlier or will
changing the time cause problems with other programs?
