Hi Stuart,

Note that Anacron is not a daemon; it needs to be executed at boot time
and intermittently thereafter (via that cron.d script).

It doesn't work to have Anacron run only at boot time and Cron
thereafter, because Anacron maintains state in /var/spool/anacron/ that
needs to be updated each time it runs. If you look at /etc/crontab,
you'll see that Cron does relatively little when Anacron is installed.
