Thread: problems with anacron

-

i work laptop @ work , home.

seems anacron runs every time laptop plugs ac power, understandable, given wouldn't waste precious battery power on jobs executes.

however, i'm experiencing this: in morning unplug laptop, drive work , plug in. anacron executed , starts running daily jobs, means cannot work laptop (incidently, if can recommend way in updatedb.mlocate , prelink.bin can run without causing desktop applications suffer, i'll interested)

when coming home, plug laptop ac power. anacron run somewhere around 3am.

how possible?

thank you,
ittay

i think anacron triggered cron, , configuration in /etc/cron.d/anacron:

code:
# /etc/cron.d/anacron: crontab entries anacron package  shell=/bin/sh path=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin  #30 7    * * *   root	test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null 30 7    * * *   root	start -q anacron || :
the above starts anacron @ 7:30. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/cr...tab%20sections

think may able edit control when cron attempts launch anacron.

i share project working in free time: name fuelino. fuelino fuel injection controller , data logger designed motorcycles equipped efi (electronic fuel injection). regulating fuel injected in cylinder, possible increase power of engine. if modification optional, if have stock engine, becomes mandatory if change components of motorcycle, such exhaust pipe, camshaft, cylinder size (bore kit), air filter , on. fuelino helps adjust injection timing, achieve proper stoichiometric air-fuel ratio maximizes output power of engine, or minimizes fuel consumption. compensation applied original signal timing, in %, depends on throttle position sensor signal (if connected), , engine rotation speed (calculated measured time period between 2 consecutive "start of injection" events). the project open source, can find more info @ following links: http://www.monocilindro.com/fuelino/ http://www.monocilindro.com/category/electronics/fuelino-project/ the following image shows how connec...
