DetailsDescription:
. anacron: - - anacron should be logging to /var/log/anacrond.log according to /etc/rc.d/anacrond [/usr/sbin/anacron -s >> /var/log/anacrond.log 2>&1] - - however /var/log/anacrond.log is empty - - instead anacron (and only anacron) is logging to /var/log/crond.log - - /etc/logrotate.d/anacrond specifies [/var/log/anacrond] which doesnt exists instead of [/var/log/anacrond.log] or [/var/log/crond.log] . crond - - crond logs to [/var/log/crond] (maybe via syslog?) - - /etc/logrotate.d/crond specifies [/var/log/crond] - - but /etc/logrotate.d/crond.pacnew specifies /var/log/crond.log which as stated above is only used by anacron. Additional info: * package version(s) core/logrotate 3.7.8-1 core/dcron 4.4-1 community/anacron 2.3-9 * config and/or log files etc. /var/log/crond.log: ...

My dcron 4.4-1 logs output to /var/log/crond.log (syslog.conf is configured for this file) and logrotate is configured to the same /var/log/crond.log
/var/log/crond is not used anymore by new dcron.
