I noticed a strange things in my /etc/crontab which seems to be installed by the cron and maybe modified by the anacron package.
Here is my crontab : ----------------------------------------crontab---------- # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' # command to install the new version when you edit this file. # This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do. SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 25 2 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 47 2 * * 7 root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 52 2 1 * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly # ----------------------------------------crontab---------- What I think is a problem is the `||' if the file /usr/sbin/crontab exist the run-parts part will not be executed, and if it does not exist the run-parts can not be executed. I dont understand why the `||' are not replaced by `&&'. Do I miss something, or is it a bug ? -- -- Bruno
