Will a crontab job wake OS X up from sleep?

Since OS X has its own task scheduler, launchd, it appears that crontab is a relic.

Hence I'm wondering: Will a cron job (crontab) wake OS X up from sleep?

In case it matters, I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5.

Why I'm not switching to launchd? Laziness:

> man launchctl | wc
     463    2975   27730
> man crontab | wc
      72     433    3577

The man page is a lot larger, and crontab does everything I need.


cron doesn't execute while the computer is asleep. So cron can't wake your system.
