- 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 don't 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."
