That's a sensible suggestion: unfortunately, I haven't yet got around to it. But I would love to see the mechanism more implemented on the systemd side, and less on the script side... > > >Could it be that the timer was just about to be triggered, when the > >machine woke up? > > > that's implausible, because the suspensions and wakeups are essentially > random (measured against "your" schedule), while the problem appears > with utter regularity (whenever the wakeup happens on the next day, as > defined by your mechanism). Do you mean that your "no network when apt-listbugs timer runs" only happens immediately after a wake-up from a suspended state and only when the system has had no chance to run the timer between 7:00 a.m. and the wake-up itself? If this is the case, then I apologize for not understanding before! Since I do not use any suspend mechanism on my boxes, this could well explain why I do not experience the same issue...
