Hello,
I am a bit surprise by the answers that I received. Again, cron and anacron used to run quite well for a long time. Both can co-live, one run periodically according to /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly, etc... and anacron could make the relay, in case that the machine was turned off. Why give up this logic?
Now, we have /etc/crond.d with 0hourly raid-check /etc/cron.hourly with 0anacron
/etc/cron.daily/ seems to be ignored
Where is the logic?

If you care about the *particular* time that a job runs, rather than just wanting to make sure it gets run once in a certain period, cron.daily and cron.weekly are not for you. Instead, drop a file in /etc/cron.d with the traditional
Or utterly eradicate anacron and move the daily and weekly jobs back to /etc/crontab (formatting the lines appropriately for the system crontab file, mind you).
That what I do, and I copy /dev/null over:
/etc/cron.d/0hourly /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron /etc/anacrontab
That way the scourge of anacron is gone forever :-). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org
