hello,
As a new anacron user, I'm trying to understand the basics. I thought I understood how the anacron command was activated. I first consulted the manual :To be sure, I first checked that bookworm is based on systemd :
:So, “or the systemd timer (on systemd-based systems)" must be the right answer. I looked for an anacron timer linked to systemd and found one in /lib/systemd/system/anacron :Everything seems to match, except the start times: 7:30am (cron job) and 7am (systemd timer).
My question is this: is there a flaw in what I've just said that could explain why the start times don't match?
As a new anacron user, I'm trying to understand the basics. I thought I understood how the anacron command was activated. I first consulted the manual :
Code:
man anacron......On Debian-based systems, anacron will be activated hourly every day from 07:30 local time to 23:30 local time through cron job (on non-sys‐ temd systems where cron is installed and enabled) or systemd timer (on systemd-based systems). On activation, anacron will check if it missed some jobs. If yes, it will start those jobs after a short period of time.:
Code:
~$ ps -p 1 -o comm=systemdCode:
:/lib/systemd/system$ cat anacron.timer[Unit]Description=Trigger anacron every hour[Timer]OnCalendar=*-*-* 07..23:30RandomizedDelaySec=5mPersistent=true[Install]WantedBy=timers.targetMy question is this: is there a flaw in what I've just said that could explain why the start times don't match?
