-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 anaconda is the My-box-isn't-a-server-and-doesn't-stay-running-for-weeks-on-end cron daemon. You only use either crond (vixie-cron) or anacron. crond runs things at the time intervals specified in the various crontab's on your system. If the system isn't running at those times, you miss out. If it is, then good. anacron, on the other hand, will renice it's processes (lower their priority in the run-queue so as not to trip over other processes' feet as much as vixie-cron does) and it will also adjust the times a bit in order to run the cron jobs. Example: My system is a system that typically gets turned off at night, and on the next day at some time. When I turn the system on, about 5 minutes (usually) after boot, the daily jobs get run since they're due usually everytime I boot the system. It is possible for anacron to run things like daily jobs multiple times in a day. I think anacron will run my jobs about twice inside a small window of time (up to a few hours or so). Yes, it gets annoying (I used to use crond and it worked well). If you're system is always up during a set period of time, then you might want to use crond instead (which I'm now thinking of going back to since I work a steady shift now.. my computer's uptime is based around my work schedule like most people).
Best idea: Try one.. try the other.. etc etc :) - -Statux On Fri, 16 Nov 2001, Patrick Nelson wrote: > What does installing anaconda do for me.
