It used to be in a root crontab, where you could delay it to say 3 am. But I've no clue where its at in the later versions since systemd took over. Run synaptic, search for locate, and see if properties>installed files will tell you where the time entry is now. Its a pretty handy utility so I wouldn't remove it, its keeping its database up to date so you can do a "locate filename", and find out where in terabytes of data, that filename might be found. > -- > Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and > ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can > be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
