    Well, it is not correct. It ran within 15 minutes of editing
    /usr/lib/cron/run-crons, even if the flag file was stamped "Nov 27 01:15
    cron.daily":

    Nov 27 01:15:02 nimrodel run-crons[15358]: Starting cron daily run
    Nov 27 14:00:01 nimrodel run-crons[20757]: Starting cron daily run

    I'll touch the flag file and see what happens:

    nimrodel:~ # touch --date="today 01:15:00"
    /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
    nimrodel:~ # l /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
    - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 27 01:15 /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily

    [...]

    No! It is running again at 14:30. I think I will undo the changes to the
    script, it is wrong: it is running every fifteen minutes:

    Nov 27 01:15:02 nimrodel run-crons[15358]: Starting cron daily run
    Nov 27 14:00:01 nimrodel run-crons[20757]: Starting cron daily run
    Nov 27 14:15:01 nimrodel run-crons[21710]: Starting cron daily run
    Nov 27 14:30:02 nimrodel run-crons[22550]: Starting cron daily run

    [...]

    Right, after I undid the change, it stopped running every 15'. I think it
    will run again at 1:30, which is not so wrong.
