Package: anacron
Version: 2.3-19
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
anacron not started at 7:30 as it should as specified in
'/etc/cron.d/anacron'
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Change 'invoke-rc.d start anacron' to 'invoke-rc.d restart anacron'
* What was the outcome of this action?
systemd stopped then started anacron.service
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected invoke-rc.d to execute the start method in '/etc/init.d/anacron'.
As it turns out systemd hijacks the process early on and sees that the
service had already been started and so does nothing,resulting in the
jobs from anacrontab not being processed.
I noticed that the jobs are always run if the system had gone through
a suspend/resume cycle in the previous day. This is due to
'/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95anacron' which stops the anacron.service
before going to sleep, then starts it upon resume.
After changing the invoke-rc.d command from 'start' to 'restart' the
7:30am anacron run starts every time.
