I know I must be missing something simple. Yesterday I worked to get the suggested optimize and backup scripts for mythconverg into the cron.daily directory. I tested each of these scripts by running them as:
sudo /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backup
sudo /etc/cron.daily/optimize_mythdb
They both worked and I had the backup files where they should be and data in the syslog and /var/log/mythtv/optimize_mythdb.log files to indicate they ran okay.
This morning anacron should have run at 6:25 my 2 daily scripts but it didn't and there is no indication in the syslog of it running. This is what I see at 6:25:
Jan 14 06:25:01 mythbuntu CRON[11179]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ))
I again manually ran the scripts as before and they work.
Any idea on why they may not be running automatically?
My crontab is below.
