So cron does not start at all? Or is it just at boot time and you are able to run it by hand? rccron start finishes successfully? Is cron enabled to start at boot? (chkconfig -l cron) What does the log files (/var/log/messages, ...) show about it? Did it work before upgrade to 11.4 RC1? Cron is working on my 11.4 RC1 box. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is another bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662433 But, as you have already found out, it has no effect on overall functionality, It is completely unrelated to this particular problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can check this by running "chkconfig -l cron". It's strange that it starts by hand and not on boot. It is started by the same means as you run it manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
