Description Bruce Orchard 2007-09-04 18:02:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
The scripts in /etc/cron.daily don't get run.  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
crontabs-1.10-15.fc7

How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Let cron launch run-parts to run /etc/cron.daily
  
Actual results:
Nothing happens

Expected results:
The scripts in /etc/cron.daily get run

Additional info:

This started happening when crontabs-1.10-15.fc7 was installed as an update by
yum about August 29.  

I think the test at the beginning of /usr/bin/run-parts is backwards:

[root@3439-3 bin]# diff -c run-part.orig run-parts
*** run-part.orig       2007-08-27 01:59:50.000000000 -0500
--- run-parts   2007-09-04 12:37:40.000000000 -0500
