I'm not sure I understand. Laptops need anacron - it shouldn't be
getting killed on resume... What makes you think that's happening?
It usually sleeps for five minutes or so after startup to prevent trying
to do too many things at once.

I do know the output on screen can be misleading as sometimes things
killed on the way down don't get printed to the screen on the way up.
