Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-118 Severity: normal In a freshly installed wheezy systems, @reboot jobs are not run. I see the following in /var/log/syslog (grepped for cron):
Jul 23 12:53:53 sneo anacron[2161]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
Jul 23 12:53:53 sneo anacron[2161]: Normal exit (1 job run)
Jul 24 18:04:50 sneo anacron[2178]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2011-07-24
Jul 24 18:04:50 sneo anacron[2178]: Will run job `cron.daily' in 5 min.
Jul 24 18:04:50 sneo anacron[2178]: Will run job `cron.weekly' in 10 min.
Jul 24 18:04:50 sneo anacron[2178]: Jobs will be executed sequentially
Jul 24 18:04:51 sneo /usr/sbin/cron[2252]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3)
Jul 24 18:04:51 sneo /usr/sbin/cron[2253]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)
Jul 24 18:04:51 sneo /usr/sbin/cron[2253]: (CRON) INFO (Skipping @reboot jobs
-- not system startup)
Jul 24 18:09:50 sneo anacron[2178]: Job `cron.daily' started
Jul 24 18:09:50 sneo anacron[2933]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.daily' to
2011-07-24
(Please note this is done at every reboot, and yes, it *is* system startup).
Adding $all to required_start does not change this behaviour (thus I
think this bug is different from #634215)
