Run anacron even when on battery (laptop)

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1477 / 2 Years ago, tue, august 16, 2022, 2:20:18

There is a known behavior of anacron not to run when the laptop is running on batteries. Is there any way to stop this behavior and run anacron whatever the power state?

Please never change any files in /usr! Instead, you may change a line in the file /etc/default/anacron to

ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER=yes

Thanks @Teresa e Junior. :)
