openSuse 12.3, Plesk 11.5.30 and daily cron

[Thomas Wilhelmi]

Hello,

I have a fresh install of openSuse 12.3 with Plesk 11.5.30 all on the latest Patch-Level. Now I want to define some some Batches wich run daily. For example logwatch wich installs itself in /etc/cron.daily. After the install the cron.daily scripts run at 11:15am. This is not a good time for logwatch, backup, ... So I tried to set the time to 1:15am and deleted the file /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily at1:10am. The scripts than run at 1:15am as expected.

But: surprisingly they started again at 11:15am and the file /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily was touched at 11:15am again.

So what Setting or script caused this and where can I Change the time?

I'd like to get this updated again. Is there really noone who knows wich setting/script in Plesk changes the behaviour of cron.daily? And, even better, how to customise it?

Thx in advance

Ah, as a coincidence I found it. It is indeed not a Plesk-Issue it is an "enhancement" of openSuse. In /etc/sysconfig/cron I found an entry named DAILY_TIME wich defines the time of cron.daily.

Sorry to ask here for an OS-related question
