For the benefit of those of us that don't use anacron can you explain
how this will request the page every 20th day and which is the first
day that it will start?
Even with cron it is not possible to do something every 20th day, it
only allows the same type of matching that WWWOFFLE has. For cron it
is when the minutes, hours, and day match a specified pattern and for
WWWOFFLE it is when the hours, days and months match a specified
pattern.
