As I understand it, anacron is like cron but runs jobs it might have missed 
when the computer was off or otherwise occupied when the job was run.  It 
looks to me like anacron's scheduling setup is somewhat different than 
cron's.  Does anyone know if and how distros transfer jobs from cron to 
anacron?  Specifically how hard would it be to put such an option into KCron?

I'm still only working on a GUI prototype -no idea if I'll end up rewriting 
KCron (though I wouldn't mind if I got the chance)

Appreciated...
