Re: Anacron won't run??
It should work like you're expecting, check the file /etc/anacrontab and make sure you have the line "1 5 cron.daily run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily"
I doubt it's missing unless you've removed it accidentally but this could be a cause, also to further diagnose the problem check the file /var/spool/anacron/cron.daily which should tell you when anacron thinks it last run the cron.daily scripts, you need sudo just to read it and the format is YYYYMMDD.
Finally using
Code:
ls -l /etc/cron.daily/
Check your script is:
a) executable, by the owner
b) owned by root
