Dear Mark and other friends,

My problem with fine calculation is as follows:
default fine calculation time is 1 AM.
Fine calculation does not work in the case of Koha installed on pc not
working for 24x7 hours.
Libraries having Koha service available between 9AM to 5 PM cant count fine.
Reason is that cronjob work only on 1 PM.
Installation from tarball cronjob entries can be loaded in crontab -e with
timings.

# FINES
5    10 * * *  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/fines.pl

Users can easily change the default time (1pm) to other convenient time
(e.g. 9 AM) for fine calculation.

My doubt is that how can I change the default time of fine calculation to
another convenient timing?
I would like to change time 1 PM to 10 AM.

I installed Koha from Ubuntu packages.
Where I can find the default fine calculation time?

This information is very important for small libraries installed Koha on PC.
