To continue the cron discussion thread, but from another angle:
under /etc there are a few directories called:
cron.daily
cron.hourly
cron.monthly
.
.
and in it some scripts.
How does it work? How do I add/remove scripts? (simply remove the file?)
When is it activated? (the "daily" for example? is it on midnight?)
I only found it after I saw weird messages in my log, and then I saw it
was repeating every hour. I couldn't find documentation on it, though.
I'll appreciate some (short!) explanation about it.
