systemd+anacron breaks cron jobs?
I have in my /etc/cron.daily some local scripts.
Some of them can be occassionally time-consuming.
Recently I found that some of them did not end.
And what I found:
1. as "everybody" knows, in case of anacron presence, system cron jobs
are delegated to anacron.
2. recently in Debian we have anacron.timer which also runs "cron.daily"
entry.
3. there is a timeout in systemd services which cause to kill my jobs :(
So my question is: is it safe to remove/disable anacron timer?
Here is some journal excerpt:
