that should matter. bcron only runs scheduled jobs if the machine is up at that time, it doesn't catch up if the machine is booting up later. > using bcron 0.09-3 on my laptop and the log shows daily & weekly > crons being run. How can I diagnose the problem? I think you should be able to see it from the logs in /var/log/bcron/. > I tried "touch /etc/crontab" and I found a corresponding message > in /var/log/bcron/update/current. What else can I try? I don't see a bug here if a cron job is not run beacuse the machine is down, and am about to close this report. anacron, and IIRC fcron, can handle such situations.
