No, I'm not getting any emails from cron at all. I've never seen this problem on any of my other linux boxes, nor of any of them that I support at the University. Cron appears to be running. I even installed anacron as a comparison, and anacron isn't finding any cron scripts that are not being touched. It looks like cron is touching the scripts, and is running, but isn't running anything.
