My web stats programs are all running a couple of minutes later every day--with the result that as of yesterday they ran at 2:02PM, whereas a couple of months ago it was 4AM. Server time remains correct. It's not a big deal, but curious. Any advice on how I can control this?

sounds like a problem with cron
never heard of that before
assume you are using cron to kick off a script that does the stats for you ?
if so I'd add a line like
echo "running script at `date` " | tee -a /tmp/logfile.log
hope it helps

Thanks for the tip. Neglected to mention that I'm using Cpanel. Does Cpanel use it's own cron? I can't find where this is set.
Did find this in Tweak Settings
'Number of days between processing log files and bandwidth usage (default 1, decimal values are ok):"
Guess I'll start with a .99 value and see what happens from there...
Thanks.

Well that's it. After changing to .99, update times have gone from 2:15 to 2:03 to 1:51.
