Hello there,
I've just noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,...} are not launched for several weeks (I noticed a `locate` not finding a recently added binary). Exactly, it's since June 02, and `# service cron status` says:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status crond.service * crond.service - Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2018-06-02 19:22:57 CEST; 4 weeks 1 days ago Main PID: 1379 (crond) Tasks: 1 Memory: 5.8M CGroup: /system.slice/crond.service `-1379 /usr/sbin/crond -n

So, service is running but what could happen that makes /etc/cron.* not being fired?
/etc/sysconfig/crond hasn't been touched and defines an empty CRONDARGS=.
Stuff in /etc/crontab is running as expected, but it's maybe not related anyway.
Regards,
