Hi Stuart, Note that Anacron is not a daemon; it needs to be executed at boot time and intermittently thereafter (via that cron.d script).
It doesn't work to have Anacron run only at boot time and Cron thereafter, because Anacron maintains state in /var/spool/anacron/ that needs to be updated each time it runs. If you look at /etc/crontab, you'll see that Cron does relatively little when Anacron is installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606491 Title: start: Job is already running: anacron To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anacron/+bug/606491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
