Anacron does not appear to run cron jobs at at particular time, the dailyWakeup/keypress/cron
combination can insure that the cron job is run on time. If you want, dailyWakeup can even
restart the system to get going :) If you want a hands on approach PMQueueManager will allow
you to schedule any many PM events as you want.

If you want to use cron and let your system go to sleep then you might want to take a look
some of the stuff I have at http://homepage.mac.com/levanj/Cocoa. It turns out you have to
do a little song and dance to make sure the mac is awake (for a long enough period) when
cron fires.

Or you could use anacron:

<http://anacron.sourceforge.net/>
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/anacron>

There's a Fink package too.
