Public bug reported: In my system (Hardy) the cron.daily scripts (etc/cron.daily/*) seems not to be daily executed.
This is my /etc/crontab SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) 47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) 52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly ) # This is my /etc/anacrontab SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # These replace cron's entries 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.monthly In /var/log/syslog I correctly see Apr 30 08:37:22 ramses anacron[6700]: Job `cron.daily' started Apr 30 08:37:22 ramses anacron[7737]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.daily' to 2009-04-30 but nothing seems having been executed. If I manually launch run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily the scripts are correctly executed. ** Affects: anacron (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- cron.daily doesn't execute scheduled scripts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
