Thanks, 

I tried your suggestions, but something does not look
good

[root at localhost ~]# /sbin/chkconfig cronie reset
error reading information on service cronie: No such
file or directory
[root at localhost ~]# /sbin/ckconfig cronie on
-bash: /sbin/ckconfig: No such file or directory
[root at localhost ~]# chkconfig cronie reset
error reading information on service cronie: No such
file or directory
[root at localhost ~]# chkconfig cronie on
error reading information on service cronie: No such
file or directory
[root at localhost ~]# service crond start
Starting crond:                                       
    [  OK  ]
[root at localhost ~]# service crond status
crond (pid 11351) is running...
[root at localhost ~]# service cronie status
cronie: unrecognized service

I guess, I should wait for the fix :)  Thanks for your
clarification.  

Regards,

Antonio
