note however that there is some missing functionality in the anacron package currently. On an apm enabled system, when a wake event occurs apm runs the scripts in /etc/apm.d. anacron registers itself with a script here so if your machine was asleep for a week it will try to run its old jobs (assuming it is plugged in). Without this support the machine must reboot or be left running for the better part of a day for anacron to get a chance to do its stuff. Similar support for pmud, acpi and whatever else is out there would be welcomed. I have a bug open about the pmud support currently but the user is not entirely sure about the proper solution. Thanks, anacron maintainer
