I don't know which Cron daemon comes standard with Debian but in Gentoo I chose VixiCron. Aparently, Debian's Cron daemon fired off at about 6:25 A.M. local time for daily events. Aparently, Gentoo's fires at about 3:00 A.M. local time. My question is this. What determines at what time of day Cron will fire? Jayson.
