There is a new cron in town. :) It's name is anacron, and it runs beside|[in addition to] the old
cron but with different config files. anacron has some neat features such as, if your box has been
of for several days, then ~1 hour after it powers up any missed jobs get ran.
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron
/etc/anacrontab
/etc/updatedb.conf
ls /etc/cron.*
