Hi, I had mentaly read the crontab as: 56 18 * * * root test -x /usr/bin/popularity-contest && /usr/bin/popularity-contest --crond
Now I feel a little dumb & confused ;-) Le mardi 15 septembre 2015, 22:22:00 Bill Allombert a écrit : > Hello Alexandre, > > /etc/cron.d/popularity-contest is not handled by anacron (as you note), > it is /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest which is. > So it would be more consistent to add 'anacron-like power' to > /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest than to > /etc/cron.d/popularity-contest, otherwise the same job will be run > twice at boot. This is right, now I'm still wondering how the cron.daily & the new crontab interract... wouldn't it need some locking to avoid that popcon run twice at the same time if someone is unlucky ? This one is maybe a real bug. The whole /etc/cron.daily already has anacron-like behaviour since systemd 212+ landed in Debian. > > By the way, the "Suggests: anacron" is not applicable anymore, > > as anacron doesn't process the jobs in /etc/cron.d . > > Of course it is still applicable, /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest > is still here.
