+----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- To start using anacron: Create the file ${SYSCONFDIR}/anacrontab (see anacrontab(5) for information about its format). The following is a simple example which runs the standard OpenBSD daily, weekly, and monthly scripts: -----Cut # ${SYSCONFDIR}/anacrontab example SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/var/log # format: period delay job-identifier command 1 5 cron.daily /bin/sh /etc/daily 7 10 cron.weekly /bin/sh /etc/weekly 30 15 cron.monthly /bin/sh /etc/monthly -----Cut Comment out the invocation of the corresponding jobs in root's crontab.

To run anacron(8) at boot time, add the following to root's crontab(5): @reboot ${PREFIX}/sbin/anacron -ds
