FreeBSD sysutils  : anacron
Schedules periodic jobs on systems that are not permanently up
Anacron 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.
Anacron is not an attempt to make cron redundant.
Requirements
- A functioning syslog daemon.
- A functioning /usr/lib/sendmail command. (all MTAs should have that).

v. 1.6
date: 2006/05/13 04:15:24; author: edwin; state: Exp; lines: +0 -1
Remove USE_REINPLACE from all categories starting with S
v. 1.5
date: 2005/06/16 15:51:37; author: jylefort; state: Exp; lines: +20 -7
[1]:
- Add a rcNG startup script
- Use mkstemp() instead of the insecure tempnam()
Moreover:
- Also create /var/spool/anacron when installed from a package
- Try to remove /var/spool/anacron when deinstalling the package; if
it fails, hint the user about removing it manually
- Respect ${CC}
- Install/deinstall ${PREFIX}/etc/anacrontab
- Split the monolithic patch-aa into separate patches
- Refactor some patches into ${REINPLACE_CMD} invocations
- Install the program ourselves (it is more straightforward than
fixing the vendor's Makefile)
- Use SUB_FILES=pkg-message

New port: anacron
Anacron 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.
Anacron is not an attempt to make cron redundant.
