Hello,
In my mailbox, I receive emails: Anacron job 'cron.weekly' on
While I do not receive any amail:
Anacron job 'cron.daily' on
while it should run daily:
logrotate
certwatch
It even more strange, on a fc22 machine I had Anacron job 'cron.daily' on
until July 14. and then not anymore !
Is anacrontab controlled by /etc/crontab or by /etc/anacrontab ?
In addition, in fc22
I had:
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate
while in fc24,
I do not have such a file.
How mlocate is now managed ?
Thank.
Anacron is what's used and that uses /etc/anacrontab. The last few
lines of the file:
#period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command
1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts
/etc/cron.daily
7 25 cron.weekly nice run-parts
/etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
I can't say if /etc/crontab is still used. It has no lines like what's
above to do anything.
As for mlocate it's now a (or part of a) service:
[mcallman@draco ~]$ systemctl | grep -i locate
mlocate-updatedb.timer
loaded active waiting Updates mlocate database every day
