Sorry, I don't know where to go next from here... I got slocate installed ok but not anacron: [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# urpmi anacron no package named anacron [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# locate anacron /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/resume.d/8anacron Interestingly, I thought I'd have a look at cron itself to see what it's [not] been doing. but even though locate cron brings pages of results, cron itself doesn't seem to want to run: [EMAIL PROTECTED] merlin]# cron bash: cron: command not found Could you perhaps point me to some reading material that explains cron/anacron installation and use?
