Anacron Description

Anacron runs the periodic daily, weekly and monthly tasks on your Mac Anacron is a tool that runs the periodic daily, weekly and monthly tasks on your Mac even if the machine (a laptop, for example) spends much of its time asleep or switched-off. Anacron silently checks when you reboot and every sixty minutes while the computer is running to see if the various periodic scripts are overdue, and runs them if necessary. The advantage of Anacron over many other solutions to this issue is that it runs as a proper Unix background process, requires no user intervention, and uses the regular periodic scripts, including local additions or modifications.Anacron comes in an installer and requires no configuration or setup. Once installed, it runs as a background daemon and needs no attention. Installing this version of Anacron will upgrade an older installation, including removing obsolete startup files and editing /etc/crontab to remove entries that are no longer used.What's New in This Release:· The package has been configured to work with the launchd daemon in MacOS 10.4 and later versions of MacOS. · This version (3.2) includes a Universal binary for both PPC and Intel Macs.
