start: Job is already running: anacron And it's caused by cron running /etc/cron.d/anacron. # /etc/cron.d/anacron: crontab entries for the anacron package SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin #30 7 * * * root test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null 30 7 * * * root start -q anacron || : Could it be that in the past `start -q' did not generate output with -q if anacron was already running? Also, has anyone else with this problem increased the delay in /etc/anacrontab so things don't run so soon after boot-up? The delays are normally 5, 10, and 15, but mine are now # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.
