Title: ancron disabled - Dynamic DNS
Post by: Gwenaël on May 22, 2001, 03:19:38 PM

Can you tell me why the anacron is disabled after the installation of Dynamic DNS (dyndns.org)?
I try to uninstall Dynamic DNS to return to the last good configuration but still the same.

anacron and contab are filled with the default (5 minutes for fetchmail during office hous, w-e & day)?

How can I re-activate anacron ?
I run a script from crontab every 2 hour to send me my IP address but nothing. The fetchamail doesn't work too.

Can you help me?  (I hope  ;-) )

Regards,

Gwenaël

Try running /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop
then /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start

See what the results are, it could just be disabled, if so simply add the line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local at the very bottom:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start


This probably isn't the most 'clean' way of doing it but it is the easiest and fastest.

The cleanest way would be to create a symbolic link in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc7.d

Ya'll correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
