First, the services tool doesn't do anything with cron jobs, so it's not surprising that a cron job doesn't show up. Second, you picked a bad example. By default, yum has both a cron job and a "service". When you enable the "service" it creates a lock file (and that's it). The cron job then checks for the existance of this lock file and if it exists runs the rest of the script. -- William Hooper
