Verify cron daemon is enabled in Slackware 14.2
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
How will I know if cron daemon is running in my Slackware installation? I tried the code below and it returns me nothing. It means cron is not in /etc/rc.d folder.
ls /etc/rc*.d | grep crond
cron daemon slackware start-stop-daemon slackbuilds

@Eliyah Thepscommand shows running processes, and that first line is your cron daemon. So yes, the cron daemon is currently running on your system.

On Slackware some daemons/services do not have separate script in /etc/rc.d/ directory and are run directly from /etc/rc.d/rc.M script (or rc.S when you start not in multiuser but single mode). Try:
grep /etc/rc.d/ -r -e "cron"
So it's running by default on Slackware, unless you comment it out manually in rc.M.
Also on Slackware only rc.d is used. You can ignore all rc[0-6].d directories. This directories are provided only to ease your pain if you install some non-Slackware packages that crash without them.
