This business of using cron to drive much of my stuff amply illustrates
this "problem". But there are several other things that cron runs on my
behalf, most of which have been running so long that the only time I
notice them is when I realise, finally, that they have stopped. The
above stuff would not prevent an attempt to execute some of them unless
cron itself has been killed.
Since this could be a valid concern, is that easily done? Possibly by,
if systemd isn't running the show, making sure cron is not running in
the "single" runlevel mode? Or is that already done. Time for a
chkconfig session I think.
Which "runlevel" is "single"?
I get this from chkconfig --list
cron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
And I also see this, which is why I had to hand start networking on the
last reboot after expunging Network-Manager.
networking 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off S:on
So it looks as if I need to consult the manpage to see how to enable that.
Thanks David, for bring up the subject.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
