From Gentoo Wiki
sys-process/cronie is a fork of the venerable vixie-cron, hosted at [1]. Because of it being a fork, it has the same feature set the original vixie-cron provides. Additionally, cronie comes with an anacron implementation which is enabled by default, through the anacron USE flag. Be aware of the configuration differences as noted in bug #551352 when migrating from another cron system. Expected jobs may not run at all.
