Is one meant to have one or the other?
If so, which is recommended?
I have
--------------------------------
[tim@helen etc]$ cat anacrontab
# /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron
# See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
1 65 cron.daily run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7 70 cron.weekly run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
30 75 cron.monthly run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
--------------------------------
[tim@helen etc]$ cat crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
--------------------------------
I didn't write either of these,
they must have been automatically installed.
My impression is that anacrontab was ignored until recently,
but now as far as I can see both are being read and acted on.
Any enlightenment gratefully received.
