Hi, the pkg-message.in from the anacron-port is incomplete, IMO. It shows this: - Edit %%PREFIX%%/etc/anacrontab - Deactivate the 'periodic' commands in /etc/crontab - Add anacron_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf - Read anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) The problem is that anacron will just execute one time, namely when the machine is booted. The maintainance-scripts would never run again, then. I suggest adding the following line to pkg-message.in before "Add anacron_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf": - Add an entry for anacron in /etc/crontab for the early morning hours What do you think? Frank
