Description

This patch adds a configuration directive SERVER_CRONJOB_OFFSET that allows an admin to specifically
set when
the server is to run its' cronjobs, including generation of periodic reports.

The value set corresponds to the number of seconds after midnight the cronjobs should be run.
Valid values are 0-86399. If no value is given, or if the value given is outside the valid range,
the default value of 19800 will be used.

This patch also includes patch 183, since it works on some of the same files. The README for that
patch is:
"A filter in the disk utilization program disk_fetch is now set to use the Date::Calc module of
Perl,
instead of epoch time. This solves a problem of daylight savings time, which earlier only allowed
for
using daily resolution."
