anacron for DEBIAN ---------------------- Anacron runs transparently to the system. In other words, you should never be aware that anacron and not cron is actually running cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}. Anacron itself however is not a daemon, so it will either be called at startup, on APM power status change, or by cron. Disabling those will result in some jobs not being executed on time. Anacron leaves messages in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages by default. -- Pascal hakim , Tue, 02 Aug 2005 20:27:00 +1100
