| Name: anacron | Distribution: Red Hat Linux |
| Version: 2.3 | Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. |
| Release: 25 | Build date: Fri Jan 24 22:26:12 2003 |
| Group: System Environment/Base | Build host: porky.devel.redhat.com |
| Size: 49017 | Source RPM: anacron-2.3-25.src.rpm |
| Packager: Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> | |
| Summary: A cron-like program that can run jobs lost during downtime. | |
Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') 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. This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Red Hat Linux system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Red Hat Linux packages are executed each day.
