The obvious choice to me would be to turn off cron and let anacron run

However I believe cron must be left on or anacron won't run?
You could always just change the time cron trips its routine
processing by changing /etc/crontab to a time more suitable for your
needs too.

Yes, I have been considering doing that too. If I set cron to run
at 07:00 I could stop anacron and would probably have a log entry
most every day.
I just thought I might be missing something that everyone else knew
about ...
