I'm sure that I remember a thread from a long time ago about a delay being introduced into anacron. On my rawhide box the delay does seem rather extreme, particularly since it doesn't necessarily run as many hours as the other boxes. Is there some way to influence this?

Don't if involved or not, but try /etc/sysconfig/crontab as that might play a part. I believe the bigger the number, the less of a delay, if I understood that correctly.

Thanks. There's no indication of how the numbers scale, so I'll experiment.
