Question #78944 on synaptic in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+question/78944
Bruce Bon gave more information on the question: Report on last night -- nothing ran. My HughesNet activity log showed no download activity between 2 am and 7 am; the /var/log/syslog file showed no cron job running then either; "crontab -l" from root says no crontab is active, but this may be normal -- I notice that /etc/crontab comments say you don't have to run crontab, so this seems to be a separate cron type from what I know about. There is a cron process running, from /usr/sbin/cron. My /etc/crontab file: # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' # command to install the new version when you edit this file # and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, # that none of the other crontabs do.
