The rpm package used to provide /etc/cron.daily/rpm /etc/logrotate.d/rpm
I see /usr/lib/rpm/rpm.log and rpm.daily, which looks like they're intended for that purpose. Anyone have any idea why they're not in cron.daily and logrotate.d?

Looks like those files are now provided by the "rpm-cron" package in RHEL 6 / CentOS 6.

Thanks, Greg. Though it seems really dumb and pointless to make a separate package just to run something that's already in the rpm package.

Brilliant job creation scheme to increase State and Federal tax yields.

Russ, my fault - I'd crossposted to here and the general RH list. Dunno if I should consider filing this as a bug or not with upstream.

I'm apolitical with an occasional sense of humour. Which USA party do you want me to favour? I'll find it difficult to endorse the former governor of Alaska or the Tea Drinkers.

I cancelled it from the Red Hat moderation queue, because, as intelligent people know, one can not post to lists one is not subscribed to. This means it did not appear on the Red Hat list; so why are you complaining ?
Paul.
Always Learning - are you ?

Huh? Sounds more like some corporate micromanagement to me, hypothetically to increase support revenues.

Looks like:

Quote "rpm requires crontabs in order to drop a cron job in. crontabs requires cronie, which requires an smtp server. If it weren't for this, we'd have a better chance at a smtp server less and cron less system."
SMTP on a server seems an ideal transmission method for warning messages of cron failures etc. Can not understand the logic of stripping the 'rpm' cron part from the cron system. Its only a few bytes on systems of hundreds or thousands of GB.

I got the impression a long time ago that the people working on fedora didn't like unix much and wanted to turn the system into something more like a single-user toy with really, really fast boot time instead of having a standard set of services that you could always depend on.
