Hi,
the pkg-message.in from the anacron-port is incomplete, IMO. It shows
this:
- Edit %%PREFIX%%/etc/anacrontab
- Deactivate the 'periodic' commands in /etc/crontab
- Add anacron_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
- Read anacron(8) and anacrontab(5)
The problem is that anacron will just execute one time, namely when
the machine is booted. The maintainance-scripts would never run again,
then.
I suggest adding the following line to pkg-message.in before "Add
anacron_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf":
- Add an entry for anacron in /etc/crontab for the early morning hours
What do you think?
Frank
