Hi,
I'm on Stretch and for testing a web application dealing with date and time I had to change my system date to january 2018 and december 2018 temorarily.
I know this was stupid but as the customer was pushing me I had no alternative (I have a VM with apache now).
Problem is: since then cron/anacron jobs are no longer running when they are due. Is there some file or anything else from which cron/anacron know when they last ran so I can reset it to current time/date?
Thank you in advance.

cron/anacron no longer running after changing date
Re: cron/anacron no longer running after changing date
Check in /var/spool/anacron or maybe first try to unstick it with an option. If you can get it to run once it will probably be fine.
Code: Select all
$ man anacron
# anacron -u
