Hello, I have one machine here on which cron.daily is not run reliably with anacron.
I see in rd@blackbox:~/Managed/LinuxInst$ grep cron.daily /var/log/syslog Dec 1 22:55:11 blackbox anacron[14161]: Job `cron.daily' terminated (mailing output) rd@blackbox:~/Managed/LinuxInst$ i.e. it run last time 4 days ago. I got blackbox:~# systemctl status anacron.service ● anacron.service - Run anacron jobs Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/anacron.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Mo 2014-12-01 22:55:22 CET; 4 days ago Main PID: 14161 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) blackbox:~# I have systems on which this setup seems to work nicely. Although the system runs Debian for a long time and has seen a few Debian upgrades, I am not aware that I did anacron related changes on this system. Here is anacrontab blackbox:~# cat /etc/anacrontab # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.
