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.
