vixie-cron (vcron) looks in /var/spool/cron/crontabs for crontabs to run. This directory isn't created if vcron is merged a second time. The ebuild notes that "this does not work if the directory exists already" but I'm not sure this is the "not working" that it refers to and the fact that the directory is removed during the "unmerging already-installed instance" portion of the merge is pretty unexpected (at least to me). vcron recovers from this by creating the directory itself so it's not fatal, but this should be cleaner. emerge vcron emerge vcron ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs
vcron and dcron fixed in cvs thx
