Title:
/etc/cron.daily/apt is holding memory while "sleep"
Status in APT:
Fix Committed
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The "random_sleep" function is calling "sleep". Thus the memory used
by anacron, the /etc/cron.daily/apt script is frozen for minutes when
the "random_sleep" blocks until the "sleep" program completes.
Maybe an implementation of a delayed system call back would save
memory. For example the script could register a call-back with "at"
utility instead of using sleep.
I think this problem is important, especially during a few minutes
after the system startup. The desktop has to be responsive while many
desktop tasks are temporarily using more memory for initialization
during the first hour.
