What about just sourcing in the file? i.e., . /etc/default/anacron

Good point, as I said I am no expert in bash scripting. I pushed your suggestion into the branch.

Nice, it would be also nice if it was documented somewhere, however I do not see the right place. Manual page for anacron might be the place however as this is handled by the 0anacron script which might not necessarily be used, it is not so clear. |

What about the crond manpage? |

Add double quotes: "$ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER".
I do not think it belongs there at all. Maybe there should be a 0anacron manpage in the section 8 which could be linked from anacron manpage? |
|
So do you suggest to create a new manpage just for this? |
Yeah. But it is up to you if you want to create it. |
