5) Use cron when a job has to be executed at a particular hour and minute
Anacron :
1) Minimum granularity is only in days
2) Anacron can be used only by super user ( but there are workarounds to make it usable by normal user )

  1. Hallo,


    Experienced Linux Interview Questions being contrived to exist for many projects simply so it can be run will be the first to hit the wall, but those projects where the functions to make existing transactions cheaper in real world applications will find the elusive real-world demand.

    The /etc/skel directory contains files and directories that are automatically copied over to a new user’s home directory when such user is created by the user add or add user command.

    I just got Linux for my samsung chromebook, I used Croutun with the interface xfce. However, when I turn off the device and turn it on I enter a factory reseted device and have to redo the whole process. I'm I doing something wrong or do I have to redo everything every single time?
    Thank you very much and will look for more postings from you.


    Merci,
    Kevin
