Hello,
I modified the file /etc/anacrontab
to have the some of "delay in minutes" and RANDOM_DELAY less than 60
and it seems that it helps. At least cron run on saturday as expected
You mention 3 files in
/usr/share/anacron
there are in /var/spool/anacron
in my machine
I am not sure that they control anything, maybe they monitor.
