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

[Marcel Krause]

Sorry for my misleading earlier post. Both parts were wrong.
1. ConditionACPower=no means to run on battery only; to ignore AC, it must be empty.
2. The ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER flag has no effect when anacron is launched via systemd.

So in conclusion, it was mere coincidence that my approach had seemed to
solve the problem.

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:
