Do you have entries similar to these in you /etc/crontab file?

I was unaware of this before, but yes, I do have it--and exactly like this. I was wondering where all of this was kicking in from, and perhaps the answer to my problem lies here as well. Concerning the cron.daily line:

Does this mean that if my computer is not turned on at 6:25 am, the jobs in that directory will not run that day?

Thanks,
