I ran into this problem, too.  It might be this bug:

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16885

I am running the latest 16.05, and the problem persisted despite the
update having applied the patch described in the bug to
/usr/sbin/koha-stop-zebra.

To work around this problem, I used the suggestion from Radek Siman
to disable anacron (while logged in as root):

    1) open /etc/cron.d/anacron and add a # to turn off the line starting
    with 30 7 * * *  ....anacron...
    2) mv /usr/sbin/anacron /usr/sbin/anacron-temporarily-renamed
