  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

openSuse 12.3, Plesk 11.5.30 and daily cron

Thomas Wilhelmi

Regular Pleskian
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 ;)
