Hello On a server with clean Centos 6 64bit installation the etc/crontab file is missing After searching on the net i found that Centos 6 is not using anymore the etc/crontab and is using the etc/anacrontab http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/ch04s14.html Code (markup): But this one is also missing for me... I found a way that maybe will fix my problem: yum -y install vixie-cron.x86_64 /sbin/service crond start /sbin/chkconfig crond on crontab -e Code (markup): But i am wondering is this the best solution? Why i do not have the anacrontab file? I can see some folders like daily, weekly, and so on that have inside some files but not named crontab that it seems that are running some tasks.... So if i use the above commands do i break any of other cron tasks if they exist using other way to run from this folders? Thank you
