Hi all, I am wondering if anacron is the right package for me? My primary concern is the proper execution of the /etc/cron.*/ scripts. My system is typically up for 2 or 3 days and then shutdown for maybe 12-24 hrs and then up for 2 or 3 day, etc. It appears that anacron only checks and runs the necessary parts when it is started and does nothing after that. Were as cron is always checking the time to see if it needs to execute any commands. Am I mistaken in anacron's behavior? What is the best solution for my uptime schedule? Should I have a cron job that executes anacron periodically so it checks the elapsed time since a job was executed, this seems a bit screwy to me. What do other with similar up/down times do with this?
