I want logwatch and other things to run at 04:30 or so, so here's what I do as I install/upgrade to Debian 10 (buster): * cp -rp /lib/systemd/system/anacron.timer /etc/systemd/system * edit the "OnCalendar" line of /etc/systemd/system/anacron.timer to suit: sed -i.old -e's/07/04/' /etc/systemd/system/anacron.timer * run "systemctl daemon-reload" to force reloading everything. I expect you can adapt the sed edit to your own situation. As Dan Ritter <[email protected]> noted, this will affect every anacron daily job. That's fine by me, you may prefer his other solution. -- "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one presents a state of society under the protection of just and well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government of brute force." - The Rev.
