hi everyone.

here's something that's been bothering me for a while and i've read the
man file for logrotate but it didn't mention anything about execution
time.

so it appears that logrotate is executed by /etc/cron.daily/logrotate.
this must mean that the daily cron jobs are being started at
approximately 4am.

my question is: why are they not starting at 12am and how can i adjust
this?


thanks,
chris.
