Hi all,
CentOs has choosen anacron as default cron daemon. I did not look further about the reasons, I think there are some good reasons.
I want to create a minute based set of scripts.
No much precision required, once a minute more or less 20 sec is OK.
Using anacron, how do you recommend to do it?
Is anacron the right tool? Otherwise what's the right tool?

I'm pretty sure anacron does not replace Vixie cron/cronie; last I checked anacron requires some other crond. Thus:

...just use cron. If anacron is installed, Vixie cron almost certainly is as well.

anacron is used on desktops and laptops which are not powered 24/7 - it executes the missed cron jobs soon after boot. It doesn't replace the regular crond, which executes jobs if the machine is up at the scheduled time.

If it's that rough, then see man 1 sleep.
