Greetings,

Per the subject line, what controls the time of the running of scripts 
located in the /etc/cron.[daily|weekly|hourly] directories?

Specifically with CentOS 6.* I've noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.daily 
and /etc/cron.weekly run at different times of the day, or on different 
days. In my experience on other rpm-based distributions, cron daily and 
weekly scripts run at 4am; those that are run weekly run at 4am on Sunday 
morning.

Much thanks in advance,
