Oops, yes CentOS 7, sorry. For the record: # service anacron status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status anacron.service Unit anacron.service could not be found.

> > So, service is running but what could happen that makes /etc/cron.* not > being fired? You don't say, but if this is CentOS 7, then cron.daily/weekly/monthly is run using anacron, not cron. It's configured in /etc/anacrontab and is usually run once a day by the script /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron - cron.hourly is still run by cron. If the script doesn't exist, then anacron won't run and cron.daily etc won't happen. P.

...bs. And if this is a test system that you keep rebooting. Well. So if I want /var/log/rpmpkgs to get updated, I have to wait until the next day an keep the system up for a bit more than 65 minutes. Actually a quite reasonable requirement. Add this to my 'book': cron is your friend. Anacron is a better friend on a desktop linux system. And I suspect that nightly suspends will NOT trigger anacron. Though probably some time after coming out of suspension for that day anacron might run again. I will have to check this out on Saturday night (I suspend this system every friday after...

Hello there, I've just noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,...} are not launched for several weeks (I noticed a `locate` not finding a recently added binary). Exactly, it's since June 02, and `# service cron status` says: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status crond.service * crond.service - Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service; enabled;

Is one meant to have one or the other? If so, which is recommended?

Hi all, CentOs has choosen anacron as default cron daemon. I did not look further about the reasons, I think there are some good reasons. I want to create a minute based set of scripts. No much precision required, once a minute more or less 20 sec is OK. Using anacron, how do you recommend to do it? Is anacron the right tool? O...

Has anyone else seen a problem recently (like, the last few weeks) with anacron?

Subject: rsync client-server users Are you using rsync in a client-server configuration? If you are, and if you have set up your cron or anacron tables to run an rsync client, does the client ever just hang? I am running one rsync server and two rsync clients, both clients are under control of anacron. And they both hang on the rsync command, forever. All three systems run Red Hat 7.1 and rsync 2.4.6-2. No data is ever sent from the cli...

...Ok, I have solved this problem partially. First, I have changed under journald.conf file Storage=volatile instead of Storage=none. After doing that, logs returned but there is no error under cron.log about cronjobs, system's jobs included. But they are not triggered. I have removed cronie-anacron package and I have installed cronie-noanacron and voil?!! ... all works ok: system cronjobs and my configured jobs ... I am not sure if it is a bug or some type of misconfiguration ... But I have two Oracle Linux 7.x LXC servers using cronie-anacron package to trigger cronjobs, and works wit...

...r the need to keep it securely patched. I'm wondering if it's possible to auto-install security updates - for that matter, with so small a set of applications perhaps auto-installing every update would be good enough. Maybe this could be done with a script run under cron.daily, so that anacron picks it up? I'd be glad of any advice. Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

...g-with-begin-and-end-time which mentions a loglevel (-L) option, and by setting this to 2 it will log when a cron job ends. It sounds great, and just what we could use. The downside is that there seems to be no such option anymore. The article is several years old but the users says they are using anacron. Checking on both a CentOS 7 and Fedora 31 system, which both use cronie-anacron, I could find no mention of any loglevel. Does anyone know what happened to this option (why it was removed)? It would seem to be useful, but removed at some time. Thanks, John. -- John Horne | Senior Operations...

Hi, I am running centos on a laptop and the HD keeps on making noises every so often, even when I go to runlevel 1 and stop everything that could be doing so (hotplug, smartd, cron, anacron, atd, syslogd...). Is there any way of finding out what is accessing the disk? Not only it shortens battery life, it is annoying while working in a quiet room.

Hi all. Can anyone help me with scheduling tasks? I'm running Centos4.2 (updated via yum starting from 4.0). I know I have vixie-cron and anacron packages installed (came like that, from first install, I guess). I read the crontab syntax man page (man 5 crontab) and I made an entry as a normal user (using crontab -e) that looks like the following: 30 0 9 1 1 /bin/ls -F /home/jose > /home/jose/home-listing.txt when I run the command &...
