As near as I can tell, the new and improved anacron in fedora 11 has seized control of all the cron.daily, cron.weekly, etc jobs. As a consequence, if you yum erase anacron None of the normal background cron processing will happen (how convenient :-). Here's my current formulae for eradicating anacron: service crond stop yum --disablerepo=* erase anacron mv /etc/crontab /etc/crontab.orig cp <old fedora 10 /etc/crontab> /etc/crontab service crond start Anyone see anything wrong with that? I guess I'll find out tomorrow if my nightly backup runs. If I had selinux turned on, it would no doubt throw some kind of hissy-fit over the copied in crontab file, but I don't have selinux turned on :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
