----------------------
Anacron runs transparently to the system. In other words, you should never be
aware that anacron and not cron is actually running cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}.
Anacron itself however is not a daemon, so it will either be called at startup,
on APM power status change, or by cron. Disabling those will result in some
jobs not being executed on time.
Anacron leaves messages in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages by default.
