Do you not have a /etc/cron.d/anacron file that sets when anacron is
supposed to be fired up?
# Run anacron once a day, after regular cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} jobs
# have started, to catch up on any missed jobs.
02 5 * * * root /usr/sbin/runanacron
If that has managed to run (i.e. your computer was on at the right
time), then it shouldn't run again. If it hasn't done its daily run,
then it tries to catch up by doing it at some other time.

Re: logwatch schedule control
that says what to run, but not when to run it. I am looking for the time control option. Thx!

In recent fedoras all the default /etc/cron.* jobs are now driven by anacron from the /etc/anacrontab file and the old /etc/crontab file is empty by default. Anacron just runs things at some random time when it happens to think of it, which drives me crazy (because it always manages to pick a inappropriate time due to Murphy's Law). I move all the entries out of /etc/anacrontab, given them specific times to run, and format them to go in the /etc/crontab file. I run nothing in anacron (and every release it gets harder and harder to turn it off). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Thx Phil, I too have that file, but! I don't see any time oriented config info there. I am assuming its whatever drives /etc/cron.daily, but where??? Thx for your time to reply!
