Hello all, I have a question about cron and anancron.
After reading the man page for both cron/crontab and anacron/ anacrontab, it's not clear to me how to configure for the following: --jobs to run currently live in /etc/crontab --jobs need to run serially (hence the staggered start times in crontab) As I understand it, anacron will only run those jobs created as scripts in the **ly folders (e.g. /etc/cron.weekly). So, my question is this: if I have periodic jobs to run in /etc/ crontab, how do I have anacron run those jobs when cron fails to do so (e.g. machine turned off)? It seems to me that the only way anacron will do what I expect it to do is to move my jobs in /etc/crontab into /etc/cron.daily. Yet, if I do that, I lose the ability to have jobs run serially (or at least run the risk of having jobs overlap each other). Please advise. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
