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:<br class="">

<font face="Courier">So I waited until after 6:25 this morning and my scripts didn't run. Only one entry in syslog about cron.daily running.<br>
<br>
About 6:55 I decided to reboot the server. While readingemail I got one at 7:16 that my database had been backed up and I checked syslog again and at 7:01 my cron.daily jobs ran correctly and the backup was in the right place.<br>
<br>
I have no idea why it ran at 7:01 and not 6:25 as crontab has setup.<br>
<br>
Strange,<br>
