Note that by running only cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}, anacron is not forced to parse crontabs, worry about permissions, change users, etc. etc. etc. All it has to do is run scripts.It's not a bug, it's a significant design choice. Perhaps popcon should create an @boot job as well as daily. The @boot job could check "have I run yet today", and then DTRT.
