Re: cron

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

It seems that we are experiencing different behaviours.
It there any test that we could run to try to identify where the
glitch is ?

By the way, nobody told me how to control anacron.
The installation day can no be considered as a normal way to 
control an application !

In may opinion, we should have an independent control of crond and anacron
ie. through /etc/crontab and /etc/anacontab

Regards.
