Re: [PLUG] RE: Unneeded programs running on startup


I wouldn't trust your PC!

>         anacron - periodic task scheduler

I leave anacron running.  It is used to run cron jobs that were not
able to run due to the system being down.  In one case I actually
disabled cron and depended on anacron to run the jobs after startup.

That won't hurt anything, but unless you're using NFS, it might not
help either.
