Indeed. Except the /etc/anacron specifies frequency (how many days apart should something be done) and delay (how long after anacron is invoked shoud something be done). The /etc/anachron file does *not* run anacron just after 7 am every morning. > The suggested "test -x ..." lines in crontab are just to disable those > entries temporarily while anacron is installed. This way, if you decide So, /etc/crontab is NOT where anacron is invoked. Somehow anacron is invoked around 7 am each day. If it's not in /etc/crontab, where is it?
