Anacron isn't a daemon. Cron periodically runs anacron, and if on ac power, anacron does its thing. See /etc/cron.d/anacron. So everything works as it should. > But what now if you bootup on AC, and then plug off ? > Or maybe the power-station goes down. > I didn't look it up completely, but what I've seen is indicating that after > booting there's no further testing performed. Again, anacron is restarted periodically, and each time it is started it checks whether it is on ac power. Dan
