Any idea where the problem might lie? ...and, by popular demand, here's the relevant line from crontab: 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily My understanding is that the "4" means "run this at 0400 hours, aka 4am." And if I wanted 4pm I'd make that 4 a 16. But it runs at 4pm anyhow. What am I missing? Many thanks. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
