Could it be that in the past `start -q' did not generate output with -q
if anacron was already running?
Also, has anyone else with this problem increased the delay in
/etc/anacrontab so things don't run so soon after boot-up? The delays
are normally 5, 10, and 15, but mine are now
Just had another occurrence. Again, local time is 07:30:01.

start: Job is already running: anacron
And it's caused by cron running /etc/cron. d/anacron.
