Bug Description
Binary package hint: anacron
/etc/cron.d/anacron runs "start -q anacron || :"
If anacron is already running this creates the output: "start: Job is already running: anacron"
This is nagging and confusing.
A job which is already running should stay quiet about a restart request if not explicitly given an option to report information messages.
This applies especially to jobs run by cron as all output from cron gets mailed to the administrator.
