Hi,
I've been having a look on how crontab is setup on default Suse
9.2/10.0/10.1 servers,
since i wanted to find out when logs are being rotated.
as far as i can see, the default crontab entries (in /etc/cron.daily,
etc/cron.hourly etc.) are being scheduled via the /etc/crontab master file:
-*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons &&
/usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1
59 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly
14 4 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
29 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly
44 4 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly
but at what time does for example /etc/cron.daily/* get run ?
i assume it is the run-crons script that is responsible for this, but i
can't see when
exactly all the different cron entries (daily for example) are being run.
it's important for me because i want to schedule sarg (squid statistics
generator) at 2 pm and i want to be sure that i always run logrotate
(to rotate squid logs) exactly might.
on redhat, the /etc/crontab is a lot clearer about this:
this is /etc/crontab on redhat:
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
59 23 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
How can do that in Suse (run-parts don't work on suse?!)
Thanks,
