As near as I can tell, the new and improved anacron
in fedora 11 has seized control of all the cron.daily,
cron.weekly, etc jobs. As a consequence, if you
yum erase anacron
None of the normal background cron processing will happen
(how convenient :-).
Here's my current formulae for eradicating anacron:
service crond stop
yum --disablerepo=* erase anacron
mv /etc/crontab /etc/crontab.orig
cp <old fedora 10 /etc/crontab> /etc/crontab
service crond start
Anyone see anything wrong with that? I guess I'll find out
tomorrow if my nightly backup runs.
If I had selinux turned on, it would no doubt throw some
kind of hissy-fit over the copied in crontab file, but
I don't have selinux turned on :-).
