> Could you elaborate what you mean by "hasn't the precision of cron"?
If I remember correctly it was not possible to define the exact minute which must pass when offline after a job should be executed after booting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cron in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280808 Title: Support for afterwards execution of missing jobs Status in “cron” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with cron 3.0pl1-124ubuntu2 and maybe cron can get the ability to run missing jobs on booting like anacron. The question why I'm not using anacron: It has limitations as it is not a full time deamon and hasn't the precision of cron. For example if I'm defining a job to run every day at 02:30 but the computer gets a power loss at 2:29 and is online at 2:31 it would be nice if cron does calculate on startup if there were jobs that had to be executed. For this case cron needs to store the last execution time of a job and an extra column on the job entry as option list to en-/disable this feature.
