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).
