Hi,

today I wondered if I need anacron on my laptop. cron(8) states in the man page 
in the section "Daylight Saving Time and other time changes":
"If time has moved forward, those jobs that would have run in the interval that 
has been skipped will be run immediately."

Does that mean anacron is not needed and for example @daily-jobs will be 
executed on boot if the machine was off or in standby. Or other jobs that are 
scheduled while the machine is in standby/turned off?

Niels
