Comment # 2 on bug 958337 from Giacomo Comes

In openSUSE 13.2 the package hylafax has a similar cronjob:
  /etc/cron.daily/suse.de-faxcron

which contains:
------------------------------------------------
# test if hylafax is running
/usr/sbin/rchylafax status &>/dev/null || exit 0

/usr/sbin/faxcron
------------------------------------------------
why hylafax+'s cron job is not doing the same? That is test if the hylafax+
service is running (or has been setup) and if so then run faxcron.

I'm sure you have plenty of packages installed but not configured in your own
PC.
nis and samba are two that first came to my mind. That's a normal practice. Not
everything installed has to be configured. If and when I need to run an
application I will configure it.

And to answer your magic question, I didn't install hylafax explicitly. I
installed a pattern and hylafax came with it.
