+====== Anacron ======
+A system that goes to sleep (suspend) cannot run regularly scheduled cronjobs. Fortunately anacron is already installed, and runs the scripts in ''/etc/cron.daily'', ''/etc/cron.weekly'', and ''/etc/cron.monthly'' in the hour after the system wakes up.
+The problem is that these scripts run as ''root'' rather than a regular user. You can use ''sudo'' to run parts of the script as another user.
+<code>
+#!/bin/bash
+set -eo pipefail
+sudo -u ian -i <<SUDO
+<executed as non-privileged user>
+SUDO
+</code>
+Remember to ''chmod'' this shell script.
+<code>
+chmod u+x /etc/cron.daily/script
+</code>
