Aha! There it is, on both the old and new systems, so it probably
is running. The question remains, "Why isn't it posting to email?"

Is there seriously no one here who knows how checkarray was
launched in previous versions?

I have upgraded 2 of my servers to Debian Buster, and now
neither one seems to be running checkarray automatically. In

emails on the status of the job. Actually, I have never been able
to figure out how checkarray runs. One my older servers, there
doesn't seem to be anything in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.monthly,
/etc/init.d/, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, or /lib/systemd/system/ that
would run checkarray.
On mine it's in /etc/cron.d/mdadm

57 0 * * 0 root if [ -x /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray ] && [ $(date
+\%d) -le 7 ]; then /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray --cron --all --idle
--quiet; fi
dpkg -L mdadm gave me a list of files and I just checked the cron
entries.
I don't run anything that recent, but Debian is Debian.
