You can edit your configuration files if this bothers you - that's what they're for. Sure, but how about shipping default config files that already fix this issue? How would we fix it ? Not run anacron at all ? Remove the cron.daily job from the default crontab ? Put complex logic into the anacron startup script that would check when the cron.daily job is to be run and possibly not start anacron ? Make anacron parse the crontabs and assume cron will run the jobs? Make cron discover if anacron has run the jobs (integrate anacron into cron) ? None of these are acceptable general purpose solutions. Really, customizing your startup scripts to suit the needs of your installation is the only answer. Perhaps disabling cron (chkconfig --del crond) and just using anacron might be an answer for you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: After rebooting a system at 3:45 a.m. in the morning I noticed that anacron runs altough normal cron will start cron.daily at 4 a.m. So I suggest to not run anacron if the system has been booted before 4 a.m. and normal cron is enabled. Otherwise you'll all reports from e.g. logwatch and tripwire twice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable cron and anacron 2. reboot the system before 4 a.m. 3. wait for emails from cron Additional info:
