Title:
/etc/cron.daily/apt randomly delays other jobs
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
Hi,
(affects 10.04 LTS as well)
anacron executes
run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
daily. run-parts runs the job in /etc/cron.daily one after the other in
alphabetical order.
/etc/cron.daily/apt is one of the first to be executed, and contains a
random_sleep to avoid all ubuntu machines on the world hitting the
server at the same time. This makes sense, but randomly delays all the
other tasks in /etc/cron.daily, and causes inconsistencies, e.g.
logrotates do not cover exactly 24 hours, but sometimes more,
sometimes less.
Would be nice to send this apt job either to the background or run it
as the last job (ie. rename to zzapt or something like this).
regards
