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 May 04 2001 Oliver Paukstadt <oliver.paukstadt@millenux.com> - ported to IBM zSeries (s390x, 64 bit) * Tue Apr 03 2001 Crutcher Dunnavant <crutcher@redhat.com> - add dependancy to vixie-cron (for /usr/bin/run-parts) * Tue Feb 13 2001 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> - killproc is a shell function and can't be passed as a parameter (bug #27150). * Mon Feb 05 2001 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - Fix i18n in initscript ("Stopping anacron" wasn't translated) (#26076) * Fri Feb 02 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com> - i18nize initscript * Thu Dec 07 2000 Crutcher Dunnavant <crutcher@redhat.com> - rebuild in rebuild cycle. * Mon Oct 30 2000 Matt Wilson <msw@redhat.com> - touch /var/lock/subsys/anacron to prevent excess startage during init level change * Wed Aug 30 2000 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - Shut down earlier to prevent NFS mounted /usr filesystems from causing problems (Bug #16257) * Fri Aug 04 2000 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - Start it later so services some cron scripts may depend on are running (Bug #15335) * Thu Aug 03 2000 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - Fix up initscript (Bug #15123 and an unreported bug) * Sat Jul 15 2000 Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> - move initscript back * Wed Jul 12 2000 Prospector <bugzilla@redhat.com> - automatic rebuild * Mon Jul 10 2000 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - Fix up initscripts (Bug #13625) * Tue Jul 04 2000 Matt Wilson <msw@redhat.com> - Prereq: /sbin/chkconfig * Mon Jun 26 2000 Preston Brown <pbrown@redhat.com> - move initscript to /etc/init.d, fix up post/preun/postun scripts. * Mon Jun 26 2000 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.com> - 2.3 * Sun Jun 18 2000 Matt Wilson <msw@redhat.com> - use %{_mandir} * 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.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.
