Description Gerald Teschl 2002-01-17 05:08:18 EST

Since the normal behavior of
anacron is to exit after all jobs are done the
status message from the init scripts seems
misleading since it suggest that the program crashed.

# service anacron status
anacron dead but subsys locked

It should be changed to "anacron running" or "anacron last
startet at `timestamp of lock file`"

Comment 1 Gerald Teschl 2003-02-21 05:55:52 EST

Still present in anacron-2.3-25

In anacron-2.3-27 and later /var/lock/subsys/anacron is no longer being touched.
