CentOS 5.5 – Installing glibc 2.7

centosglibcgnuredhat

I'm trying to run a program that requires glibc 2.7, but I'm running it on CentOS 5.5. Is there any way to do this? I can't upgrade to CentOS 6.

Hmm. glibc 2.5 is a dependency on pretty much everything in CentOS5. If you change it to glibc 2.7, your box will explode.

Here's some discussion over in the CentOS forums:

Cron – When Does cron.daily Run

For the distributions you mention:

On CentOS 5.4 (Should be same for RHEL5)

grep run-parts /etc/crontab

01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

So cron.daily runs at 04:02am.

Same on CentOS 4.8
