Hello,
 
Postgresql-8.2 manual has mentioned following points.
* The autovacuum daemon, when enabled, runs every autovacuum_naptime seconds.
* autovacuum_naptime (integer): Specifies the delay between "activity rounds" for the autovacuum daemon....The delay is measured in seconds, and the default is one minute (1m)....
 
My Query: I want to run autovacuum daemon everyday at 5 am. By setting autovacuum_naptime to 24*60*60 (# of seconds in a day), I can run the daemon everyday. But, how do I ensure the daemon runs at 5am? What is the "activity rounds" mentioned in the manual? Pl clarify. Appreciate an early reply.
