| Release: 6 | Build date: Fri Mar 3 08:41:42 2000 |
| Group: System Environment/Base | Build host: porky.devel.redhat.com |

| Summary: A cron-like program that can run jobs lost during downtime. | |
Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously. It can therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly and monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine-uptime permits. This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Red Hat Linux system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Red Hat Linux packages are executed each day.

* Fri Mar 03 2000 Tim Powers <timp@redhat.com> - fixed startup script so that it doesn't put stuff in /var/lock/subsys. Complains since anacronda turns itself off when it is run, and the file in /var/lock/subsys isn't removed. * Mon Feb 28 2000 Tim Powers <timp@redhat.com> - fixed startup script, now it actually stops, gives status and restarts. Fixes bug #9835 * Mon Feb 07 2000 Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> - handle compressed manpages * Fri Feb 04 2000 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - rebuild to get compressed man pages - mark /etc/cron.daily/... as config files * Wed Feb 02 2000 Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com> - fix annoying defines - rebuild to update description and group * Thu Jan 06 2000 Bernhard Rosenkränzer <bero@redhat.com> - initial Red Hat package * Wed Dec 29 1999 Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com> - Remove cron.hourly check (unusefull). * Wed Nov 10 1999 Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com> - 2.1 from debian. - Fix typo in initscripts. * Thu Jul 22 1999 Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com> - Fix wrong entries in anacrontab. - Add a /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit/ script * Tue Apr 27 1999 Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com> - Fix bug with /var/spool/anacron/ * Sat Apr 10 1999 Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com> - First version mainly inspired from the Debian package.
