-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-9335 2008-11-12 01:52:15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : anacron Product : Fedora 8 Version : 2.3 Release : 58.fc8 URL : http://packages.debian.org/stable/source/anacron Summary : A cron-like program that can run jobs lost during downtime Description : Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously. It can therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly and monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine-uptime permits. This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Red Hat Linux (or Fedora) system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Red Hat Linux (or Fedora) packages are executed each day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: The correct spooldir is now logged. Anacron doesn't run jobs twice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Oct 30 2008 Marcela Mašláňová <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.3-58 - same script for all cron.something should prevent double jobs - correct spooldir is logged * Tue Dec 11 2007 Marcela Maslanova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.3-57 - 0anacron.{daily,weekly,monthly} check whether they are on battery - rhbz#387301 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #468503 - booting system around midnight confuses anacron https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468503 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
