Hi Jeremie, thanks for the bug report. Imho it would be "cleaner", if packages, just as anacron in this case, shipped those hooks themself. We might add them to pm-utils as an intermediate solution, but when pm-utils is pervasive enough (and hopefully has established as default powermanagement scripts suite), we will try to push out those scripts to the original packages again.

Bug#469135: pm-utils: consider adding a hook to run anacron after resume or AC plugging
Package: pm-utils Version: 0.99.2-3 Severity: normal Hi, I realize that on my laptop the scripts in /etc/cron.(daily|weekly|monthly) are not run as regularly as they should, if anacron was doing its job. This is because I put my laptop to sleep at night, and wake it up typically after 7:30 AM so /etc/cron.d/anacron is not run. I believe anacron should be invoked on resume, and moreover when the AC is plugged (because by default anacron is not run when AC is unplugged), so that it can check whether it has work to do. A number of related bugs (202605, 260323, 426294) have been filed for anacron, and the issue seem to have been addressed in Ubuntu. However the fix probably depends on the power management script used, so I file this as a pm-utils bug. My current fix is to add hooks in /etc/pm/(power.d|sleep.d) that do "invoke-rc.d anacron start" on resume/AC on (and also "invoke-rc.d anacron stop" on suspend/AC off).
