Cronie RPM script bug.  Init script is disabled after cronie installed.  Fixed in next release of cronie to Rawhide.  In the meantime, run '/sbin/chkconfig cronie reset; /sbin/chkconfig cronie on; /sbin/service crond start'.

Subject: cron not working :(

Dear all,

I have a cron job that plays music in the mornings
when I get to work.

Mplayer plays from a custom playlist of songs.  It
turns on at 7:06 am and stops playing at 8:25 5
minutes before the bell.  For the past two or three
days, the music has stopped playing :(

Here's what is in crontab and the corresponding
versions of *cron*

[olivares@localhost ~]$ crontab -l
# min  hr  mon  dom  dow  command
   06  7    *   *   1-5  ~/alarm >& /dev/null
   25  8    *   *   1-5 killall -9
/usr/local/bin/mplayer >& /dev/null
  05 19 * * 1-5 ~/alarm2 >& /dev/null
[olivares@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa crontab*
crontabs-1.10-19.fc9.noarch
[olivares@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa *cron*
crontabs-1.10-19.fc9.noarch
cronie-1.0-3.fc9.i386
anacron-2.3-57.fc9.i386
[olivares@localhost ~]$ 

If there would be a bug to be filed, against which one
should I file against so that I can get my cron jobs
working again?

Thanks,

Antonio
