I'm confused between anacron and cron. I've got a vanilla woody install and there appears to be some anacron statements in /etc/crontab. Does that mean I need to install anacron to get the entries in /etc/cron.daily, weekly and monthly to run?
AFAIK anacron is suited to lap/desk-tops which are turned off at times and anacron will recapture what runs had been missed and run them
