Description Mace Moneta 2009-06-17 18:29:26 UTC

Description of problem:

On the 16th, I updated to cronie-1.3-1.fc11.x86_64.  Today I rebooted.  The @reboot jobs did not start.  The cron log says:

Jun 17 14:17:00 slayer crond[2143]: (CRON) INFO (@reboot jobs will be run at computer's startup.)

Since the computer just started, cronie does not appear to be determining "computer startup" properly.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cronie-1.3-1.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.update to cronie-1.3-1.fc11.x86_64
2.Have @reboot jobs in your crontabs
3.reboot
  
Actual results:

@reboot jobs don't run

Expected results:

@reboot jobs run

Additional info: Verified the SELINUX in permissive doesn't change anything.

Comment 6 Nerijus Baliūnas 2009-06-30 01:56:23 UTC

Why this update started to require anacron?

Comment 7 Tomas Mraz 2009-06-30 06:50:32 UTC

*** Bug 508432 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 8 Tomas Mraz 2009-06-30 06:51:29 UTC

Because it needs it to run cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly jobs.

Comment 9 Adrian Reber 2009-06-30 07:02:30 UTC

Sorry, but I don't get it. Where is the connection between cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly and @reboot jobs? I would really prefer if there was no dependency on anacron. I really do not want cron jobs to start at a random time after I power my system on. Up until now it was a simple "rpm -e anacron" and everything was perfect.

Comment 10 Tomas Mraz 2009-06-30 07:17:17 UTC

But it was not at all perfect for the default use-case.

@reboot is not related to the weekly, etc. jobs I just answered the comment 6.

The duplicate notation in comment 7 is wrong though I've mistaked the bug number with another bug.
