I'm not sure where your and my systems differ. But on mine, cron.daily is certainly NOT ignored. I get daily logwatch reports from there and my locate database is updated from there. In fact, since I learned about the systemD mechanism for daily updates of the locate database, I activated it to see the effect and I'm getting twice daily updates. The crond manpage says it reads /etc/anacrontab. It is from there that daily/weekly/monthly get executed. Jon -- Jon H.
