Anacron is not for hourly because it doe snot assume the system is running continuously. Man page says: ANACRON(8) Anacron Users’ Manual ANACRON(8) NAME anacron - runs commands periodically SYNOPSIS anacron [-s] [-f] [-n] [-d] [-q] [-t anacrontab] [-S spooldir] [job] anacron [-S spooldir] -u [-t anacrontab] [job] anacron [-V|-h] anacron -T [-t anacrontab] DESCRIPTION Anacron is used to execute commands periodically, with a frequency specified in days. Unlike cron(8), it does not assume that the machine is running continuously. Hence, it can be used on machines that aren’t running 24 hours a day, to control regular jobs as daily, weekly, and monthly jobs. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
