Hello, I modified the file /etc/anacrontab to have the some of "delay in minutes" and RANDOM_DELAY less than 60 and it seems that it helps. At least cron run on saturday as expected You mention 3 files in /usr/share/anacron there are in /var/spool/anacron in my machine I am not sure that they control anything, maybe they monitor. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.
