I think you have it backwards: if you log in at 2:00, anacron will run
at about 3:30, and then cron will run at about 4:00. Anyway that's what
my logs for today show. (Don't ask me why I logged in at 2:00; it's too
depressing (8-( ).
If cron runs first, anacron will not redo the jobs that anacron has
already run that day, but
If anacron runs first, cron *will* redo the jobs that anacron has
already run.
