The answer to both of these questions is the /etc/crontab file. You are correct, cron
does check every minute to see if there's something to run in the various crontabs
(user and system). /etc/crontab, the system file (as it were), indicates which time of
day/month/etc to run each of the "parts" in the various cron.X directories. Mine's set
to 4:00am for the cron.daily contents. YMMV, as always.
