lock.c, after opening the file that contains the time of last anacron run, changes the file's owner and mode (so it's 0600 and owned by the user running the process).
This may be a good idea sometimes, when the file already has the required mode and uid (as is the case in 99% of the cases), it just means that anacron modifies the file for no good reason.
In my machine, it means the drive spins...

I observed a compile error and several warnings. I cleaned it almost all up (there wasn't much) leaving only the use of 'tempnam' which the linker complains is dangerous (security hole).
Attached, the diff file for anacron2.3.
Thanks!

Let's say I have a backup program that I want to run daily on my laptop. But the backup takes place over wifi to some local server.
Currently, anacron will run the backup script once a day when the machine is running. But if the server is not available (e.g. I'm working without wifi connection) at the moment when the backup script is run, the backup will fail this day.
What I'd like, is to...

I like anacron's ability to try and do a daily backup even if the machine is never guaranteed to be up at any given time of day.
But I wish I could tell it to prefer some hours over others. So for example, if the last backup took place at 2pm, it may still decide to do a backup at 4am (when it doesn't bother me at all) so as to avoid doing the next backup again at 2pm (when it can be...

It would be nice to be able to specify something like this in a crontab:
59 23 -1 * * foo
The primary reason for doing so is so the script I use generates its timestamp before the end of the month for display purposes (which is beside the point).
Currently I do this to achieve the same result:\
59 23 27-31 * * foo.php
foo.php:
#!/usr/bin/php5
