It used to be possible to change the single line that controlled cron.daily
(for example) in /etc/crontab. However, it seems that all of the scheduled
scripts are now controlled by calling /usr/lib/cron/run-crons each hour.
It's not clear to me where the config info comes from that tells run-crons
on which hour to run the cron.daily scripts

Oh right. I've moved updatedb.conf to the cron.daily to make it run everyday, just wanted to see if it had worked by changing the daily time to say 5 minutes from now and then checking what happens.
