[Bug 897507] Re: kubuntu-desktop should not depend on anacron

[guenther kuenzel]

hello silvio,

maybe my workaround will either fit your needs. i created a user based
cronjob which starts a user based anacronjob at a specific time. the
user needs to be in group "crontab"

$ crontab -l | grep -v ^#

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
SHELL=/bin/bash

0 3 * * * anacron -t ~/.anacrontab

$ cat  ~/.anacrontab 
# ~/.anacrontab

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

1       0       backup.daily    sudo backup.sh

greetings
