Or even more effective is moving everything out of /etc/anacrontab
to explicit entries in /etc/crontab to effectively completely disable
the utterly worthless anacron and make all the cron jobs more reliable.
I've got this script I wrote running on a hook after every yum
command:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Drive a stake through anacron's heart if updates try to
# reinstall it.
#
for i in /etc/cron.d/0hourly /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron /etc/anacrontab
do
if [ -s $i ]
then
cat /dev/null > $i
fi
rm -f $i.rpmnew
rm -f $i.rpmsave
done
It is very effective at making anacron stop "helping" me.
