Well, for RHEL ES and AS server editions at least, I think the thinking is that anacron is not really needed since servers aren't usually turned on and off regularly, but usually expected to be up all the time. I think this assumption is totally wrong. Even servers are affected by system maintenance or power outages. This is where anacron comes into the game. If the power went down right before midnight and comes up back again after 4 p.m. non of the cron.daily jobs are run (tripwire, logwatch, updatedb...) Anacron is now in RHEL-3 (U3). |
