Anacron Plugin For OMV6

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.

• OMV-Extras must be pre-installed.

In OMV6's GUI: Under System, Plugins, highlight openmediavault-anacron 6.X, and click the install button.

Under Services, Anacron, Click the Create icon.

• Enabled: The job must be Enabled to run automatically. (Disabled jobs can be run manually.)
• Delay: Delay is in minutes, after boot up.
• Identifier: This is an optional user comment field.
• User: To insure that the command line is granted the necessary permissions to execute, root (the default) is a good choice.
• Command: Enter a command line in this field as it would be entered on the command line.
• Send Email: Command output, if any, will be mailed to the E-mail account configured in Server Notifications.
• Save the job.
