Can't tell much about fcron (esp. if its config syntax is similar to my |

vixie-cron), but for me, vixie-cron installed a /etc/crontab that |

contains the following lines: |

0 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly |
| 20 |
1 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily |
| 21 |
15 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly |
| 22 |
30 5 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly |
| 23 |
*/10 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons |
