[Bug 1666875] Re: anacron does not execute cron.daily on start or restart

[Marcel Krause]

The original systemd service file may be restored on system update.
Rather, make an override file /etc/systemd/system/anacron.service.d/on-
ac.conf with

> [Unit]
> ConditionACPower=no

to make systemd always start anacron. However that doesn't help if
anacron will then just flinch, so ensure in /etc/default/anacron:

> ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER=yes

Hope it helps!

Title:
  anacron does not execute cron.daily on start or restart

Status in anacron package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have an Ubuntu 16.10, setup with a cron.daily script. If I run the
  script manually and with run-parts it works. Also, if I left the
  computer on, then the script is run correctly.

  However, if I turn off the computer and turn it on after the set
  anacron executing time (by default 7:30) then the cron.daily is never
  executed.

  System info:

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.10
  Release:	16.10

  $ apt-cache policy anacron
  anacron:
    Installed: 2.3-23
    Candidate: 2.3-23
