Daniel: I'm perfectly happy with the situation as it is now. I got an email notifying me about a problem which eventually pointed me to the cause of the problem. If we changed anything in the way start or anacron respond by default to duplicate instances of processes, we may break other things and make things worse.
As to my proposed solution alternatives: I don't really see the sense of creating separate bug reports for those. They should be discussed to see which one makes the most sense in the context of this bug report. Once the discussion is complete, then we might create a feature request. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606491 Title: start: Job is already running: anacron To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anacron/+bug/606491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
