Unless I=E2=80=99m mistaken, creating /var/cron/tabs will silence =E2=80=9C= crontab -e=E2=80=9D, but those entries will still be ignored because mcron=E2=80=99s crond is not running (IIRC the cron functionality of mcron is separate and requires you to run crond, which we don=E2=80=99t do.) One option would be to write a different service altogether running that daemon and creates /var/cron/tabs like you did. Another option would be to remote the =E2=80=98crontab=E2=80=99 program fro= m our =E2=80=98mcron=E2=80=99 package to at least avoid disappointments. Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
