Comment 34 for bug 606491

It seems like I may be in the minority here, but I am not experiencing any problems with APT or other things hanging.

My problem is simply that I boot my machine slightly before 7:30 local time, and anacron is still running as expected when cron tries to start it. I think the proper way to fix this is to have cron not directly start anacron, but rather emit an event. That way upstart automatically handles starting anacron if it is not already running, and ignores the event if it is. I've attached a patch to do so.
