+.TH ANACRONTAB 5 2004-07-11 "Pascal Hakim" "Anacron Users' Manual"
+.SH NAME
+/etc/anacrontab \- configuration file for anacron
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The file
+.I /etc/anacrontab
+describes the jobs controlled by \fBanacron\fR(8).\&
+Its lines can be of three kinds: job-description lines, environment
+assignments, or empty lines.\&
+.PP
+Job-description lines are of one of these two forms:
+.PP
+ period delay job-identifier command
+.PP
+ @period_name delay job-identify command
+.PP
+The
+.I period
+is specified in days, the
+.I delay
+in minutes.\&
+The
+.I job-identifier
+can contain any non-blank character, except slashes.\&
+It is used to identify the job in Anacron messages, and as the name for the
+job's timestamp file.\&
+The
+.I command
+can be any shell command.\&
+The fields can be separated by blank spaces or tabs.\&
+The
+.I period_name
+can only be set to monthly at the present time.\&
+This will ensure jobs are only run once a month, no matter the number of days
+in this month, or the previous month.\&
+.PP
+Environment assignment lines are of the form:
+.PP
+ VAR = VALUE
+.PP
+Spaces around
+.I VAR
+are removed.\&
+No spaces around
+.I VALUE
+are allowed \%(unless you want them to be part of the value).\&
+The assignment takes effect from the next line to the end of the file, or to
+the next assignment of the same variable.\&
+.PP
+Empty lines are either blank lines, line containing white-space only, or lines
+with white-space followed by a \&'#'\& followed by an arbitrary comment.\&
+.PP
+You can continue a line onto the next line by ending it with a \&'\e'.\&
