Periodic command scheduling is the main feature of Anacron, which, in contrast with Cron, does not assume that the system is running all the time. Anacron makes life easier by taking care of routine system tasks without having to specifically run them. Scheduled tasks are monitored by a system of notifications to the user or administrator of the system.
