#! /bin/sh # 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. case "$1,$2" in change,power|resume,*) /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null ;; esac
