| Anacron can be used to execute commands periodically, with a frequency of daily, weekly or monthly. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the machine is running continuously. Anacron can be used on machines that aren’t running 24 hours a day, to control daily, weekly, and monthly jobs that are usually controlled by cron. If powered off and a job is due, Anacron will run it after the next bootup. | Anacron can be used to execute commands periodically, with intervals of daily, weekly or monthly.
