Hello,
I have a backup launched by cron.weekly
However, since F40, after it has run a first time and ended, another backup
is started. This messed up the backup.
When starting, the first crond
sent
(ps -aux | grep -i backup | mail -s Backup root(a)localhost.localdomain)
root 19672 0.0 0.0 228476 3136 ? S 12:29 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron
root 19673 0.0 0.0 227904 2248 ? S 12:29 0:00 sed 1i\ /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron:\
root 19683 0.0 0.0 227752 2276 ? S 12:30 0:00 grep -i backup
root 19684 0.0 0.0 238028 5352 ? S 12:30 0:00 mail -s Backup root(a)localhost.localdomain
and at thz end
backup ended at Sat Jun 22 02:55:58 PM CEST 2024 /dev/sda10, /dev/sdb8 and /dev/sdc6 OK
and the second one
root 29787 0.0 0.0 228476 3260 ? S 14:55 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron.saved
root 29788 0.0 0.0 227904 2176 ? S 14:55 0:00 sed 1i\ /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron.saved:\
root 29798 0.0 0.0 227752 2208 ? S 14:55 0:00 grep -i backup
root 29799 0.0 0.0 238028 5428 ? S 14:55 0:00 mail -s Backup root(a)localhost.localdomain
Here is the /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
# For details see man 4 crontabs
# Example of job definition:
# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# | | | | |

# the maximal random delay added to the base delay of the jobs
RANDOM_DELAY=35
# the jobs will be started during the following hours only
START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22
#period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command
1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily
#7 25 cron.weekly nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
Is there a conflict between cron and anacron ?
This machine is turned on and off usually on a daily basis, but not necessary.
Thank for your lights
