[mythtv-users] crontab vs. anacron from a mythtv perspective

[Ian Cameron]

Or drop the correctly formated files into the /etc/cron.d/ directory. There
are three good things about that option: firstly, they won't be changed by
system upgrades; secondly, as well as supporting the standard crontab time
specification, they have one additional field, that being the user to run
as, i.e. no need to use sudo; thirdly the jobs are run at the exact time
specified, unlike the jobs in the /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/
directories, which are run sequentially by run-parts, which is triggered by
cron.

Cheers, Ian
