I'm configuring webalizer on my machine and am scheduling a cron job
to process the web logs. I need to make sure the processing of web
logs happens *before* the log rotator. The log rotator is called from
a script in cron.monthly, and the log processor is going to be in
cron.hourly (for now).
Can anyone tell me whether scripts in /etc/cron.hourly are guaranteed
to run *before* those in cron.daily, and .daily before .weekly, etc.,
etc.? The manpage for cron doesn't say anything about it.
TIA,
