Traumwind - searching for a name...

anacron
The cousin of the 'cron'-daemon. 'cron' runs tasks like system maintainance at certain times, but skips them if the system isn't running at that time. That's where 'anacron' comes in: it checks delayed 'cron'-tasks at boot-time and executes them. If your machine doesn't run all the time, you should leave it enabled.
