I've been wondering about anacron myself; it used to work at some point.
I notice messages like this in the syslog:

Dec 28 12:26:25 pismo anacron[11636]: Can't close stdin: Bad file
descriptor

I just tried adding < /dev/null and it seems to work. :)

I recommend installing the on_ac_power script posted here recently and
using /etc/init.d/anacron start instead.


The xrefresh you shouldn't need; enable APM emulation in the kernel and
create /dev/apm_bios.
