Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Services such as cron and atd were found to be stopped after a reboot. These were configured to start at boot:
bash-4.1$ sudo service crond status
crond is stopped
bash-4.1$ sudo service atd status
atd is stopped

bash-4.1$ sudo chkconfig --list | grep -i crond
crond           0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
bash-4.1$ sudo chkconfig --list | grep -i atd
atd             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
  • Some other customer scripts also did not start.
  • These were able to be manually started.
