I have a scrpit in /etc/logroate.d, and it runs daily, how can I set the time it runs, that mean I have to change the cron.daily run time right? ( I don't want it run in crontab )

Maybe this article may help you.

I can't find /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily at my redhat as 4,but I do find /etc/crontab ,I can edit start time there, but for detail to very script inside cron.daily.
thanks!

SUSE has a slightly different setup than RedHat for cron jobs. I would point you to the RedHat docs, but for some reason the documentation is temporarily unavailable. The file /etc/crontab controls execution of system jobs. To understand the layout of the crontab file you should look at the man pages on crontab. Be sure to read both sections 1 and 5 to understand how it works. Individual users can also have their own crontab file depending on settings.

The files in /etc/logrotate.d are not scripts they are configuration files for logrotate. The actual logrotate script is in /etc/cron.daily. Note that if you change the runtime for /etc/cron.daily you are also going to change the runtime for the other scripts in that directory.

ps - Jimmy you should set your Distribution in your profile. Go to My LQ at the top of the page to get to your profile.

Looks like you were posting when I was writing. The logs for cron are kept in /var/log. The file cron shows the details of when jobs were run.
