How about if he changes /etc/crontab to use something like: 0 0 * * * root test -e /etc/cron.d/anacron || nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 21 0 * * 7 root test -e /etc/cron.d/anacron || nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 31 0 1 * * root test -e /etc/cron.d/anacron || nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly This way if anacron is installed the lines automatically stop working. -- see shy jo
