Changes in Anacron 2.0.1
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
* Minor cosmetic changes to log messages.
|
||
|
|
* Jobs are now started with "/" as their working directory. This is
|
||
|
|
more compatible with older Anacron versions, avoids annoying errors on
|
||
|
|
some systems, and generally seems to make more sense.

Summary of major changes in Anacron 2.0
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
* Complete rewrite in C. Should be backwards compatible with existing
|
||
|
|
Anacron installations.
|
||
|
|
* First release as a "generic" Linux package (was a Debian package).
|
||
|
|
* No longer needs special lock-files. Locking is done on the timestamp
|
||
|
|
files.
|
||
|
|
* Sends log messages to syslogd. There's no log file now.
|
||
|
|
* Output of jobs, if any, is mailed to the user.
|
||
|
|
* Added command line options: -s -f -n -d -q -u -V -h. See the manpage.
|
||
|
|
* Specific jobs can now be selected on the command line.
|
||
|
|
* Added SIGUSR1 handling, to cleanly stop execution.
|
||
|
|
* Jobs will now be started with their current directory set to the home
|
||
|
|
of the user running Anacron (usually root).
