fcron (3.0.5-r2) seems to install two files, /etc/fcron/crontab and /etc/fcron/fcrontab, and suggests running "check_system_crontabs -v -i -f" post installation. This results in no fcrontab for the "systab" user, because the check_system_crontabs script looks for "/etc/crontab" and "/etc/fcrontab" by default. "check_system_crontabs -v -i -f -F /etc/fcron/fcrontab -C /etc/fcron/crontab" works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fcron 2. Run "check_system_crontabs -v -i -f" Actual Results: Shell output: --- Rebuilding fcron systab. 13:47:20 installing file /tmp/fcrontab.19ueFf for user systab 13:47:20 systab's fcrontab contains no entries : removed. Modifications will be taken into account right now. --- "fcrontab -l systab" lists an empty file. Expected Results: Shell output: --- Rebuilding fcron systab. 13:52:47 installing file /tmp/fcrontab.DZlYqJ for user systab Modifications will be taken into account right now. --- "fcrontab -l systab" lists what it should.

Solve temporal this problem: check_system_crontabs -v -f -i -F /etc/fcron/fcrontab -C /etc/fcron/crontab
Diego, what did you do? :)
With 3.0.6 it's even worse: check_system_crontabs is now called check_system_crontabs.sh ...
This should be okay with 3.0.6-r1.
