The reasion for Anacron is to run the cron jobs that didn't run because the machine was turned off when they should have been run. Unless they have changed the way Anacron works, you need to have Cron running in order for Anacron to function correctly. But you do not need Anacron running in order for Cron to work correctly.

Thanks and I fixed the problem on looking the bugzilla. I made the modification as follows:
Comment #7 From Markku Kolkka on 2006-05-15 11:13 EST [reply]
The problem can be fixed by changing the /etc/cron.daily/0anacron script: #!/bin/sh # # anacron's cron script # # This script updates anacron time stamps. It is called through run-parts # either by anacron itself or by cron. # # The script is called "0anacron" to assure that it will be executed # _before_ all other scripts. # Don't run anacron if this script is called by anacron. if [ ! -e /var/run/anacron.pid ] then anacron -u cron.daily fi /etc/cron.weekly/0anacron and /etc/cron.monthly/0anacron scripts need a similar change.
