You can adjust the crontab entry to run senddigests on whatever
schedule you want (default is daily at noon).

Digests will still be sent when the accumulated size reaches
digest_size_threshhold.

If you're asking regarding an individual list rather than the site, you
would have to set digest_send_periodic to No and then send digests
through some other process. You can't use cron/senddigests directly
because it only sends digests for lists that have digest_send_periodic
set to Yes even if the list is named on the command line, but you
could look at the code to see how a digest is sent and make a simple
script to do the same thing or use bin/withlist.
