Yes I have sendmail is installed: This is what I got in the roor mailbox with fc22 N 3 Jun 25 Anacron (2K) Anacron job 'cron.weekly' on teucidi N 4 Jun 25 (Cron Daemon) (1K) Cron <root@teucidide> run-parts /etc N 5 Jun 26 Anacron (735) Anacron job 'cron.daily' on teucidid N 6 Jun 26 (Cron Daemon) (1K) Cron <root@teucidide> run-parts /etc N 7 Jun 27 Anacron (735) Anacron job 'cron.daily' on teucidid > /etc/crontab should be empty. In fc24, it seems that /etc/crontab is ignored How can I control cron.daily and cron.weekly , The crond.service I believe runs what > users set up in their respective crontab files, what's in /etc/crontab > and also what's in /etc/cron.d.
