I do also have anacron running and if I shut down and power up the
computer the usual way, it's probably anacron which starts to run the
cron jobs after about an hour of uptime. But if I hibernate the computer
and then power it up, say, the next day, for some reason it seems like
anacron doesn't notice it should start running the cron jobs. I'm
suspecting this might be a bug in Fedora, so I'd like to hear if anacron
works as expected after waking up from hibernate for other users.
