Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

2016-01-17 Thread Ola Lundqvist 
Hi

Thanks for letting me know. I have added a note about this in the
documentation now and uploaded a new version of cron-apt with that note.

Cheers,

// Ola

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

2016-01-16 Thread Jürgen Bausa 
Its a little more complex as I thought first. Running systemd 
/etc/default/anacron seems to be ignored. Instead, 
/etc/systemd/system/anacron.service needs to be changed like

 ConditionACPower=false

with this change anacron runs even on battery.

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

2016-01-13 Thread Ola Lundqvist 
Hi

Great to know what the problem was! I'll consider mentioning this in the
documentation.

Odd. Maybe your previous laptop did not properly report it to the operating
system?

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

2016-01-13 Thread Jürgen Bausa 
Ok, that hint helped.

The problem is, that anacron does not run on battery by default (see Debian 
Bug report logs - #666390 anacron: change default ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER 
to yes). As my laptop always runs on battery, anacron never runs.

What I do not understand is why it worked with my previous laptop, which was 
running wheezy. In the mentioned bug report it is said that anacron has always 
been configured to not run on battery.

Are you sure? I dont see why it should be disabled.

If I remember correctly, after installing cron-apt the file cron.d/cron-apt was 
disabled by adding .something. Instead a link can be found under cron.daily. I 
removed the .something from cron.d/cron-apt. So in principle cron-apt shoul 
now be run by two independent mechanism (cron.d and cron.daily).

It is running fine. I can see it in the logs.

Hi

Sorry I missed that. It was enabled.

One more question. Do you have this computer running at night time?

If not you have to make it run with a @reboot line in the cron file.

No, it is not running at night. It is a laptop.

I thought anacron would take care of that. Am I wrong? All my other systems 
are able to run cron-apt although they are not running at night. And I didnt 
add @reboot.

So, where do I have to put @reboot?

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

2016-01-11 Thread Ola Lundqvist 
Hi

Please try to enable cron apt through cron.d/cron-apt again. It is
obviously disabled that way.
Also can you send me the contents of

ls -l /usr/sbin/anacron

If you execute /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt is it executed then? I´m asking as
some system do not allow execution on all directories.

What else can you find in the logs about cron?

I checked by putting a file in /etc/cron.d that outputs every minute. That 
worked. It seems to me, that files maybe only run by cron, if the system is 
running at that time. As anacron is installed, it should also if the system is 
turned on later. Or am I wrong?

Hi

Please send me the contents of:
/etc/cron.d/cron-apt (when enabled that way)
/etc/crontab
/etc/cron-apt (all files)

And do a "ls -l /etc/cron.*" and send me the output of that.

Your log files is probably useful too. At least check that cron is running
something else. You mention that it is not running one of the other scripts
you have. But is it running any cron job at all?

Cheers,

The logs in /var/log do not contain any output from cron-apt. All the messages 
seem to be send to /var/log/cron-apt/log. However, this file contains only one 
entry - it was made when I started cron-apt manually.

When I noticed, that cron-apt never runs I disabled the entry in 
/etc/cron.d/cron-apt and instead enabled the link in /etc/cron.daily/. 
However, this did not change anything.


By the way, I also have a script to update flashplayer, that also does not seem 
to be run:

root@lina:/etc/cron.weekly# cat flashplugin 
#!/bin/sh
test -x /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree && /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-
nonfree --install --quiet
exit 0

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

2015-12-26 Thread Ola Lundqvist 
Hi Jurgen

If it is not running something is wrong with the cron daemon. Is 'cron'
running?

Also do you have logs from anything else, maybe you do not have syslog
installed?

Please also note that by default it is just run once per day (night
actually) so you have to check a log of logs.

You can check the logs like this:
grep -i cron-apt /var/log/*

If you see any lines there it has been run.

Cheers,

// Ola

Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.9.2

Dear Maintainer,

on my system, cron-apt is never run. Directly invoking from shell works, but is
never run automatically by cron. I noticed this by checking the log.
