Could you please show me the output of `ls -lR /sys/class/power_supply` ? Also I'd like to see contents of type and online files of each of the power_supply devices. Unless the script is severally broken it should be sufficient to have one online power supply device to run anacron. There must be something else wrong with the script. # ls -lR /sys/class/power_supply /sys/class/power_supply: total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 22 08:37 hidpp_battery_1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-10/3-10.1/3-10.1:1.2/0003:046D:C52B.000A/0003:046D:406D.000B/power_supply/hidpp_battery_1/ This is a desktop with a Logitech M705 mouse connected. Ah, ok. So desktops do not have an entry for their power supply device.

Created attachment 1765088 [details] Patch to exclude HID devices based upon the battery name. Description of problem: The anacron jobs are not ran if any battery-backed devices (eg. wireless mice) are connected to the computer running anacron. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cronie-anacron-1.5.6-1.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect a wireless mouse (eg. Logitech M705) to the computer Actual results: Anacron jobs are not ran: journalctl -b | grep 'Anacron started' is empty Expected results: Anacron should run. Additional info: 1.5.6 changed /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron and is now considering the online status of the mouse's battery. Mice and possibly other HID devices should be ignored, while ensuring that UPS devices (which can be HID devices as well) are not. I've attached a crude patch for that file.
