anacron weakly is supposed to run on saturday, it run on Monday now ! Same thing for cron !
There is no "supposed to" with anacron. It decides when to run stuff for it's own wacky reasons. Did you install f24 on a Monday? It may have decided if Monday was the first day it thought it ran, that it would always run weekly jobs on Monday.
Good supposition. I upgraded to F24 on a Friday and my cron.weekly runs on Fridays.
I upgraded on a Sunday
Perhaps it took until after 10PM. In that case anacron would not run weekly until after 3AM Monday. From /etc/anacrontab:
This can be the right explanation
# the jobs will be started during the following hours only # START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22
Regardless, as has been said before, if you want a job run at specific times, anacron is not the correct tool. Use cron.
Yes and no, Monday is not a good day. I would like to move to Saturday Why not a START_DAYS_RANGE ? for the weekly stuff ?
Thank
