[cristian]

Hi,

Every morning i have high load 100% on cpu, this makes the server crash or apache stops handle requests.

I added daily to logrotate.

I want to change the hour when cron is running logwatch but i can't find in directadmin_cron or in crontab.

Or maybe other solution ?

Thank you.

It's probably being run in cron.daily; look at your /etc/cron.daily directory. You can move it elsewhere if you wish.

Check this /etc/anacrontab then...

#period in days   delay in minutes   job-identifier   command
1       5       cron.daily              nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7       25      cron.weekly             nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45     cron.monthly            nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

or change priority with nice.
