Is there such a thing as Debian systems that don't run off systemd nowadays? The key problem is APT updating its lists several times in a row whenever cron.daily is run i.e. via every package that installs a similar snipet either via cron or via apt.conf.d, which quickly becomes redundant. Which part of the cron snipet specifically do you find essential? Martin-Éric
