Thanks Guenther
the machine is used as a server so I needed a system wide solution.
Now I'm testing this workaround:
1) sudo update-rc.d -f anacron remove
2) sudo rm /usr/sbin/anacron
Tomorrow I'll see if the nightly backup went as expected.
I don't know if an update (I mean apt-get dist-upgr
i have forgotten to mention that if you use a user based cronjob it will be
executed at the specific time anyway. only system based (/etc/cron.daily) jobs
are executed by anacron at random times. e.g.
$ crontab -l | grep -v ^#
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

hello silvio,
maybe my workaround will either fit your needs. i created a user based
cronjob which starts a user based anacronjob at a specific time. the
user needs to be in group "crontab"
$ crontab -l | grep -v ^#
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
SHELL=/bin/bas
Installed 12.04 server - added kubuntu-desktop as GUI
Need to scedule backups at specified hours
Not able to uninstall anacron
Disabling anacron (sudo update-rc.d anacron remove) doesn't work because in
/etc/crontab is tested the existence of the anacron executable:

that is a trait shared among all flavors, so I guess this needs a
general decision.
from the kubuntu side demotion of anacron from depends on recommends
would be fine
