It executes commands at intervals +specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running +continuously. It can therefore be used to control the execution of daily, +weekly and monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that +do not run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron +will make sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely +as machine-uptime permits. |
