ANACRONTAB(5) Anacron Users’ Manual ANACRONTAB(5)
NAME
/etc/anacrontab - configuration file for anacron
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/anacrontab describes the jobs controlled by anacron(8). Its lines
can be of three kinds: job-description lines, environment assignments, or empty
lines.
Job-description lines are of the form:
period delay job-identifier command
The period is specified in days, the delay in minutes. The job-identifier can con-
tain any non-blank character, except slashes. It is used to identify the job in
Anacron messages, and as the name for the job’s timestamp file. The command can be
any shell command.
Environment assignment lines are of the form:
VAR = VALUE
Spaces around VAR are removed. No spaces around VALUE are allowed (unless you want
them to be part of the value). The assignment takes effect from the next line to
the end of the file, or to the next assignment of the same variable.
Empty lines are either blank lines, line containing white-space only, or lines with
white-space followed by a ’#’ followed by an arbitrary comment.
