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
