With anacron installed /etc/crontab actually does not start a daily task in /etc/cron.daily; the line
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) (without line break) just tests if anacron is executable. Actually, anacron itself is startet by the file /etc/cron.d/anacron with a line 30 7 * * * root test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null (without line break) and in its configuration file /etc/anacrontab a 5 minute delay is added. I would just set up a job file similar to the file /etc/cron.d/anacron in order to call the backup program. -- Best Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
