Hello, Thank for all the comments. The issue is with weekly cron On Saturday, /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron is run twice
Here is /etc/anacrontab #period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command 1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily 7 25 cron.weekly nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly @monthly 45 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly and here /etc/crontab 22 23 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 30 12 * * 6 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly I understand that if I set dotlockfile -l at the beginning of my /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron and dotlockfile -u at the end of the same file I must avoid to run /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron at the same time, but it does not prevent to run /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron twice (sequentially) in the same day (like today). =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 | | Room# D114A =========================================================================== > Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 5:08 PM > From: "Jonathan Billings" <billi...@negate.org> > To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users@lists.fedoraproject.org> > Subject: Re: crond/anacron > > > > > On Dec 11, 2021, at 10:38, Jonathan Billings <billi...@negate.org> wrote: > > > > The thing is, Anacron only runs if you boot after the scheduled job is > > supposed to run out of cron.
