This patch hits the needs of people having problems with anacron hanging.
For the issues with hanging, and causing a notification if anacron is still running long after it should be, I think a separate process is in order. I could not find any way within upstart to do this, so I wrote a short script to launch from cron daily and squawk if anacron has been running >12 hours.
I've tried to make my script as portable as possible, but I'm not sure how portable my ps(1) and date(1) syntax is, or on how many platforms anacron is used.
