- # This script makes anacron jobs start to run when the machine is
- # plugged into AC power, or woken up. For a laptop, these are the
- # closest parallels to turning on a desktop.
-
- # The /etc/init.d/anacron script now normally tries to avoid running
- # anacron unless on AC power, so as to avoid running down the battery.
- # (Things like the slocate updatedb cause a lot of IO.) Rather than
- # trying to second-guess which events reflect having or not having
- # power, we just try to run anacron every time and let it abort if
- # there's no AC. You'll see a message on the cron syslog facility
- # (typically /var/log/cron) if it does run.
