Description:

When using systemd, the $CRONDARGS variable in /etc/conf.d/crond has no effect.

Additional info:
* cronie 1.4.8-3

Steps to reproduce:

$ ps ax | grep crond
/usr/sbin/crond -n
$ echo CRONDARGS="-s m off" > /etc/conf.d/crond
$ systemctl restart cronie.service
$ ps ax | grep crond
/usr/sbin/crond -n

Simple fix in /usr/lib/systemd/system/cronie.service (attached):
<...>
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/crond
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/crond -n $CRONDARGS

   cronie.service (0.2 KiB)

Working as intended (and as advised by upstream). If you don't want mail, you can override the unit in /etc/systemd/system.
