On nightshade, crontab *is* cronie.
The cron server is running and -after a quick test- working. The problem seems to lie with emails, which are not sent.
I spoke about willow, and there crontab didn't work (I don't receive any mails from cron (everything goes to /dev/null), but I write log files). I don't know what's the case with nightshade. I didn't thought about it because I changed my cron and on another MMP project crontab never worked on willow (only cronie), so I thought it's some problem with crontab. So I thought it was only my problem and switched to cronie for my user account, too (and it worked again). But then a mail was written by Danny. So it seems to be a general problem with crontab on willow.

Well, Danny was talking about nightshade. It is indeed the case that in willow crontab and cronie are different processes, and sometimes crontab dies (seems to be running, though).
