# 1.16 29-Mar-2020 kim

Fix skipped daily in Eastern Europe

- Move /etc/daily from 03:15 -> 04:15
- Move /etc/weekly from 04:30 -> 05:30 (to keep the spacing)

This should prevent problems during daylight savings changeover (which
is usually between 01:00 -> 04:00, depending upon the region) where the
cronjobs may be executed twice, or never at all...

This expands on the previous fix in revision 1.13 from 1997.

# 1.15 27-Nov-2002 perry

Set a CRON_WITHIN of 7200 (2 hours). This should not be noticed on
most machines, but ones that are slept overnight (like laptops) will
no longer suddenly have all overnight jobs start simultaneously upon
awakening, rendering the machine useless. I thought I had done this
long ago, but it turned out I'd only done it for my own machines.
