Details
The script /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron uses on_ac_power(1) to
determine whether the machine runs on AC power and run
anacron. An unintended behavior is that (1) if pm-utils is
not present, anacron is run unconditionally and (2) if
pm-utils is present and anacron must be run even on battery
(e.g. tablet which charges over the night), the user has to
add a script to cron.hourly. The case (2) is not intuitive
for people not used to cronie/anacron.
To avoid confusion, is it possible to add pm-utils to optdepeds array? E.g. pm-utils: defer cron jobs when on battery power |
This task depends upon
