I want to have job that runs once a day when I power on my machine. With cron
I have the problem that this has to be at a fixed time, yes? Since I switch my
machine off when I don' t use it it can often happen that this will not run
because the launchtime has been missed. I know that in Suse they had some
mechanism for users like me, who don't let their machine run all the time.

So is there something like that I can use in gentoo? I could put that script
in a runlevel, but then it will run everytime I reboot. Is there an easy way
to limit it to once per day?
