Under 2.2 cron would run jobs on resume that should have run while the laptop was asleep. This was quite useful as it meant that daily and weekly tasks got run despite the fact that my laptop would usually be sleeping at the times these were normally scheduled. FreeBSD 3.2 no longer does this. Is this a bug or feature? Are there any work arounds or patches available to get the old behaviour? I also notice that uptime no longer records time when the laptop was sleeping, is this related? -- Jose Marques To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
