Package: anacron
Version: 2.3-23
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Anacron almost never runs on my system. As something that is supposed
to add some degree of reliability to cron, this is problematic.

I think I have worked out the cause, which is that I usually switch my
laptop on while on battery. This causes Anacron to skip running at
boot. It looks like the next time that Anacron will be run is 7:30am,
by /etc/cron.d/anacron. Therefore, if, like me, you switch your laptop
on before plugging it in, and don't have it switched on at 7:30am, no
cron.daily (etc.) jobs are ever run.

I think a good solution to this is to run Anacron when power is plugged
in.

For me, this udev rule is working well. I've created the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/anacron.rules with:

    SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{online}=="1", RUN+="/etc/pm/power.d/10_anacron"

Maybe it would be best to include a check that run-on-battery is set to
no, so that it doesn't get run twice in that situation.

Bug #666390 may relate to this.
