Woops, should have said "crond" rather than "cronie" in my instructions.  Sorry about the typos.

Cronie RPM script bug.  Init script is disabled

cronie on; /sbin/service crond start'.

Thanks, 

I tried your suggestions, but something does not look
good

[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/chkconfig cronie reset
error reading information on service cronie: No such
file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/ckconfig cronie on
-bash: /sbin/ckconfig: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig cronie reset
error reading information on service cronie: No such
file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig cronie on
error reading information on service cronie: No such
file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# service crond start
Starting crond:                                       
    [  OK  ]
[root@localhost ~]# service crond status
crond (pid 11351) is running...
[root@localhost ~]# service cronie status
cronie: unrecognized service

I guess, I should wait for the fix :)  Thanks for your
clarification.  

Regards,

Antonio

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
