I have used vixie-cron and anacron together for years. I put the
scripts for anacron in /etc/anacron.{daily, weekly, monthly}
so they were separate from the cron scripts in
/etc/cron.{daily, weekly, monthly} (hourly irrelevant for this)
[[ actually I was even more nonstandard and put them in
/local/etc/anacron-{...} but that is another story ]]
I want to be more standard with a new installation so I am following the
anacron documentation and putting the anacron scripts in
/etc/cron.{daily, weekly, monthly}.
I am then supposed to "comment [these] jobs out of their crontab files"
Am I correct that I comment out cron.daily by commenting out the line
9 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
from /etc/crontab. I think this "has to work" but the code in
/usr/sbin/run-crons is a little tricky and I want to be sure.
thanks,
allan
