Just a question if it was possible to use anacron instead of cron? (Same requirement here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70828497/r-understanding-how-scheduled-tasks-are-stored-when-the-computer-is-turned-off) Thank you!

This package is an R wrapper around cron, not anacron. Free free to use the code in the package to make another package which works for anacron. There are no plans to provide this from my end.

Thank you very much for the quick response! And of course I understand your position. Unfortunately I am not sure if I have the skills to get an anacronR package to work. Maybe I'll give it a try, though. All the best!
