Just use both. Wait, don't tell me, yast:

Auxiliary package, needed for proper update from vixie-cron 4.1 to cronie 1.4.4"

Well, looks like cronie does both. /usr/sbin/cron is only cron that is running and it is the one from cronie-1.4.8... I seem to remember that, the whole /etc/cron.<time>... script stuff was run off of a normal cron anyway... i.e. normal cron function wasn't removed -- ahh... man page says: Cron searches /var/spool/cron for crontab files which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd; The found crontabs are loaded into the memory. Cron also searches for /etc/anacrontab and any files in the /etc/cron.d directory, which have a different format (see crontab(5)). Cron exam- ines all stored crontabs and checks each job to see if it needs to be run in the current minute. So it handles the *nix format and adds support for the async cron format needed by systems that aren't always on. I.e. since both methods have worked for me, I never noticed a problem... Where's the problem? Are some people only running anacron or such? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
