Cannot disable (or even locate) crond.service in systemd [solved]

graysky · 2012-08-08 15:25:18

Since this update, I noticed:

$ systemctl | grep fail
crond.service             loaded failed failed        Legacy unit for crond

I have no idea how to disable crond.service which doesn't seem to exist on my filesystem.

$ locate service | grep cron
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cronie.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/cronie.service

# systemctl disable crond.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

Is this a bug or PEBKAC?

EDIT: bugged it.

It's cronie.service rather than crond in systemd

I have requested that this thread be closed to minimize confusion. Please use the bug report's comments where is very on topic.

crond.service is a legacy unit created by initscripts. Remove crond from rc.conf and/or get rid of sysvinit.
Edit: Sorry, I thought this belongs here, too and not only in the bugtracker to conclude the topic.

For the future the best way to find out about a service is:

# systemctl status crond.service

It should tell you "Loaded: loaded (/run/systemd/generator.late/crond.service; enabled)" or something along those lines.
