Hi,
I use anacron on Stretch to to do my dirvish backups. Cron is not installed.
But: It doesn't respect the START_HOURS_RANGE. It always starts shortly after midnight.
Here is my anacrontab:
Code: Select all
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
HOME=/root
LOGNAME=root
START_HOURS_RANGE=8-16
# These replace cron's entries
1 5 cron.daily run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
7 10 cron.weekly run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 15 cron.monthly run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly
Any ideas?
Thanks.

What do you mean by this? Anacron is managed by systemd.

But this would only be a workaround.
I'm interested why START_HOURS_RANGE isn't respected.
