Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
After installing the latest rhel65 compose, the cron jobs are not running despite the fact that service crond status shows that it it running.  The cron log looks like this...   Normally it has a lot more logging. 

[root@jsefler-6server ~]# cat /var/log/cron
Aug 23 12:38:23 jsefler-6server crond[1711]: (CRON) STARTUP (1.4.4)
Aug 23 12:38:23 jsefler-6server crond[1711]: (CRON) INFO (RANDOM_DELAY will be scaled with factor 71% if used.)
Aug 23 12:38:26 jsefler-6server crond[1711]: (CRON) INFO (running with inotify support)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-6server ~]# rpm -q cronie
cronie-1.4.4-10.el6.x86_64


Additional info:
After downgrading to cronie-1.4.4-7.el6.x86_64 and restarting crond service, the cron jobs started running as expected.

I was trying to clean code too much in patch fixing rhbz#985888. cronie should be working again in next compose. I'd like to close this bug now.
