[Bug 382315] Re: cron.daily doesn't execute scheduled scripts
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 36816 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36816 test -x /usr/sbin/anacron is returning a result code of 1 whether anacron is installed or not. I am running ubuntu 10.04 in an Amazon EC2 instance from an Ubuntu AMI. anacron is NOT installed on this system, though test -x seems to think it is. So cron.daily is never run... So I have 2 choices... modify the system script wherever it is, or make a new entry in crontab for the various scripts installed in cron.daily. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382315 Title: cron.daily doesn't execute scheduled scripts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anacron/+bug/382315/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 382315] Re: cron.daily doesn't execute scheduled scripts
Hi guys, There have been a few version changes since the last reported release (Lucid). The version in the development release Natty is the same version in Maverick, so **if possible** would anyone with this problem be able to test it on there, since this problem may be configuration-specific?

[Bug 382315] Re: cron.daily doesn't execute scheduled scripts
I had found this same problem today in karmic 9.10 for cron.daily I got it to work by editing the /etc/cron.daily/apt script by putting the word exit at the beginning of the script and problem gone. You can check the functioning of the cron.daily running by executing sudo run-parts -v /etc/cron.daily I also have noticed that the regular root users crontab has a bug I get E23 no alternate file and it won't let me add anything there.

Some days ago I have started my PC and syslog sayd: May 14 08:40:56 ramses anacron[6696]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2009-05-14 May 14 08:40:56 ramses anacron[6696]: Will run job `cron.daily' in 5 min. ... ...

Moreover my anacrontab has a period of 1 day and my PC was off for about 3-4 days, so the jobs weren't executed for more than 1 day (that it seems the period after the which anacron starts the job) and they should have been run. If I watched /var/spool/anacron/cron.daily file I could see the timestamp updated to 20090514 so anacron assumed that the jobs were executed but this wasn't. -- cron.daily doesn't execute scheduled scripts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
