The feature you are describing is the exact purpose of anacron. Could you elaborate what you mean by "hasn't the precision of cron"? What can cron do that you can't do with /etc/anacrontab?
BTW, it doesn't make sense for anacron to be a full-time daemon, because when the system is up, you already have the cron daemon executing your jobs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280808 Title: Support for afterwards execution of missing jobs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/1280808/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
