Description Cole Robinson 2019-03-18 14:39:40 UTC 
I updated my f30 machine over the weekend, and come monday I wasn't receiving new mail automatically. My crontab has roughly:

*/10 7-20 * * * SOME-COMMAND
*/10 * * * * GET-MY-MAIL

Checking journalctl shows only the first command was ever being invoked. Commenting out the first line makes the second work. Otherwise no amount of changing the time options of line 1 or 2 managed to get the second command invoked.

sudo yum downgrade cronie\* gave me:

$ rpm -qa | grep cronie
cronie-anacron-1.5.2-5.fc30.x86_64
cronie-1.5.2-5.fc30.x86_64

And after 'sudo systemctl restart crond' both my cron commands started be invoked as normal. So this seems like a 1.5.3 regression
