이는 cron이 anacron을 실행하지 않고 systemd에 맡긴다는 의미입니다. 그렇죠? 하지만 관련 시스템 타이머가 표시되지 않습니다.

주간지가 연재되지 않는 이유는 무엇일까?
편집자: 일간 신문도 그렇게 하지 않을 겁니다. 만든 날짜hosts-block-update-daily/etc/cron.daily
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "start @ $(date)" >> /home/mylocaluser/hosts-update-daily.log
그리고 아무것도 기록되지 않았습니다. 아래 설명에서 언급한 것처럼 anacron을 수동으로 실행할 때만 실행됩니다.
