I'm surprised that you have an executable shell script in your root directory. Did you modify the contents of /script in any way?

Is there something else that runs between 3:30 and 5:55 in the morning that affects the logs your script collects or the dump it transfers?

syslog

SYSLOG(8)							  System Logging							 SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
