Well, I hope no news is good news, because I might have a problem elsways.

I have my mail forwarded to a user account, which I check with kmail.  
Since I am receiving no daily reports, does this mean that none of my daily 
jobs are running?

If so, I think it may be because I am not up 24/7.  Is there a way for me 
to tell anacron to run all the contents of the cron.daily folder (since it 
is set up for systems like mine which are not 24/7.)
