Cron tab entries with 00 in front of them

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

/etc/cron contains:
	
	02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily

which says  "run as root"

	run-parts /etc/cron.daily

at 4:02AM

"run-parts" refers to the script 

	/usr/bin/run-parts

An examination of the script shows that the directory entries are
considered in alpha-numeric order. Namesprefaced with "00" [zero zero]
appear first in the list as can be seen by simply running 

	ls -l /etc/cron.daily

The run-parts script will ignore scripts ending with

	(.rpmsave | .rpmorig | .rpmnew | .swp | ,v)

As to your second question... You may find both the man page for
webalizer and the contents /etc/webalizer.conf instructive.
