Powersave / clock / crontabs

[Felix Chang <F.K.K.Chang@wxs.nl>]

Hello,

I have been using debian for quite a long time now and have recently
upgraded
to hamm. I must say that it is quite an improvement over 1.3.

My question is not so much debian related but the problem is as follows.
I want to keep my computer on all day to receive faxes and voice
messages
with mgetty-voice. I also want to save power by enabling all powersave
stuff in the BIOS (asus tx97e mainboard, no atx) . What happens is that

- no cron jobs are being run at all
- the clock is in powersave mode as well, i.e. runs very slowly
  which makes my syslogs quite unreliable.

(I actually wrote a crontab to update the clock -due to the powersave
mode-
only to find out no cronjobs were being run)

Is this something I have to live with or is there a solution? 

(With anacron I'll have to reboot, don't I? And the clock keeps being
slow)

Felix Chang
