Anacron is a periodic command scheduler. 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.
