How do I disable or remove Anacron?
To disable anacron, run the following commands in a terminal:
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl unload -w ./anacron.plist
cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-weekly.plist
sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-monthly.plist
To completely remove anacron from your system, delete (trash - i.e rm):
sudo rm /usr/local/sbin/anacron
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man5/anacrontab.5
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man8/anacron.8
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/anacron.plist
sudo rm /etc/anacrontab
sudo rm /var/spool/anacron/cron.*
sudo rmdir /var/spool/anacron
Now trash /Library/Receipts/Anacron.pkg from outside terminal (normal Desktop)
...to check in terminal, type the above lines but replace 'sudo rm' with 'cd'.
You should get "no such file/directory exists".
