Package: anacron Version: 2.3-13.1 Severity: wishlist
Hello, on my laptop becoming older, jobs started from anacron are becoming ressource hogs, and the interactivity becomes frustrating slow until all of those jobs are done. As those jobs are important but not critically important, may I suggest to introduce some levels of interactivity in the choice of /etc/anacrontab ? Default: 1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 7 10 cron.weekly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly @monthly 15 cron.monthly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.mon thly More interactive, standard environment 1 5 cron.daily nice -n 15 run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 7 10 cron.weekly nice -n 20 run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly @monthly 15 cron.monthly nice -n 20 run-parts --report /etc/cron.mon thly Best interactivity, requires kernel > 2.6.13 and ionice: 1 5 cron.daily nice -n 15 ionice -c 2 -n 7 run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 7 10 cron.weekly nice -n 20 ionice -c 3 -n 7 run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly @monthly 15 cron.monthly nice -n 20 ionice -c 3 -n 7 run-parts --report /etc/cron.mon thly Regards Pascal Dupuis -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.5 Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages anacron depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages anacron recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-105 management of regular background p ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport ag ii sysklogd [system-log-daemon] 1.5-5 System Logging Daemon Versions of packages anacron suggests: ii powermgmt-base 1.30+nmu1 Common utils and configs for power -- debconf information: anacron/jobs_in_crontab: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
