Dear All,
I am playing with the cron system and puting things in to do daily cleanups
and contacts to the internet.  My log is telling me that /etc/daily and
/etc/weekly are being invoked despite them not being in the crontab for root.

Are these built into cron by default?.  If so how can I modify them?.

Cheers

Robin
