This article will explain in detail about the use of linux's anacron command to run commands on a regular basis. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The anacron command can be used to execute commands periodically, with a frequency specified in days, and unlike cron (8), it does not assume that the machine is running continuously. Therefore, it can be used on machines that do not run 24 hours a day to control daily, weekly, and monthly jobs that are usually controlled by cron.

Syntax format: anacron [parameters]

Common parameters:

Reference example

Test the anacron syntax:

[root@linuxcool ~] # cat / etc/anacrontab

Use / root/myspool to store all timestamp information for jobs defined in the / etc/myanacron file:

[root@linuxcool] # anacron-S / root/myspool-t / etc/myanacron

Use the-f parameter to enforce the job, ignoring the timestamp:

[root@linuxcool] # anacron-f / root/myspool

Update only the timestamp of the job to the current date, but do not run any action:

[root@linuxcool] # anacron-d-u about using the anacron command of linux to run the command regularly is shared here. I hope the above can be helpful to you and learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
