How does anacron start in Centos7 ?

/etc/crontab shows empty

  • anacron.conf contains cron.daily folder
  • cron.daily folder contains logrotate config file
  • logrotates are working perfectly

My question : I cannot find any relation between cron and anacron then how does anacron start in centos7 .

Best Answer

It's run from cron, of course, using the script in /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron.

Scripts in /etc/cron.hourly are run hourly by the job in /etc/cron.d/0hourly.
