i've been googling in vain turn general explanation of how cron , anacron work together. man pages bit deep of dive me @ point. i confused because add tasks crontab, , works, when delete them out of crontab, still run under anacron. see tasks in /etc/cron.daily, not sure how got there. cron running on system always, not anacron. in fact, see anacron started cron! basically i'd user-level intro on how add , remove tasks, since googleable answers tell edit crontab not complete. link tutorial fine. both cron , anacron daemons can schedule execution of recurring tasks point in time defined user. the main difference between cron , anacron former assumes system running continuously. if system off , have job scheduled during time, job never gets executed. on other hand anacron 'anachronistic' , designed systems not running 24x7. work anacron uses time-stamped files find out when last time commands executed. maintains file /etc/anacrontab cron
