Hello,
 
Thank for the suggestion.
But, are you sure? I would like to keep running anacron on a machine which
does not run permanently !

Install cronie-noanacron then remove cronie-anacron.
 
Anacron should not be setup for servers, but is good for a laptop.

Hello,

1) In fc22, anacron (and crond) sent mail to root every time that it
was running. How can I recover this function with fc24 ?

2) Now, anacron and cron work. However, I have
in /etc/crontab
22 23 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
06 13 * * 6 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
and in /ect/anacrontab
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


But crond.weekly runs on the Monday while it must have run on Saturday !

Sep 19 10:01:01 teucidide anacron[4820]: Will run job `cron.weekly' in 54 min.
Sep 19 10:01:01 teucidide anacron[4820]: Jobs will be executed sequentially
Sep 19 10:35:01 teucidide anacron[4820]: Job `cron.daily' started
Sep 19 10:35:02 teucidide run-parts[6320]: (/etc/cron.daily) finished certwatch
Sep 19 10:35:03 teucidide run-parts[6327]: (/etc/cron.daily) finished logrotate
Sep 19 10:35:03 teucidide anacron[4820]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
Sep 19 10:55:01 teucidide anacron[4820]: Job `cron.weekly' started


3) systemctl | grep -i locate
provides not answer.
How can I check that mlocate run properly ?
There is not service locate or mlocate

Thank for your help.

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 Mark C.
