Changing the time when all your daily tasks run, not really an efficient way of doing things. Or just move automysqlbackup.sh to /usr/local/sbin and create a new file called "automysqlbackup" in /etc/cron.d with the following contents: 00 18 * * * root /usr/local/sbin/automysqlbackup.sh This should then run at 18:00 Hours (6:00PM) everyday.
