I want to play with dcron but I'm having a user issue..

I linked /etc/sv/dcron to /etc/runit/runsvdir/current/dcron
and started the service but I get
run: /var/service/dcron: (pid 8134) 10s; down: log: 1s, normally up, want up

/etc/sv/dcron/run
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40 Mar 15 12:19 run
exec /usr/sbin/crond -f 2>&1   # -f or -b ?

Try running "crond -f" manually as root and see if that gives you any error 
messages.

Runs ok under root and with sudo.
Just can't get it to execute any crontabs if run as service..
Might stick crond in rc.conf for now...

Instead try:

sv up crond

And see if that gives you any information.

You might try running crond with different command line arguments. There doesn't seem to be a cron group by default and this might also be an issue.

I can see no problem with the service. Maybe you just need to do a 
"xbps-reconfigure -f dcron"?
No explicit "cron" group should be needed.
Are you sure the crontabs are processed as intended if you run the daemon 
manually?

Thank you both for the time and helpfulness..

There was a update to dcron today and even the status of service still 
remains 
run: /var/service/dcron: (pid 780) 109s; down: log: 0s, normally up, want up

it's executing my tests as we speak after a reboot, and I also did 
-reconfigure but unsure if anything changed..

by the way how do I edit my post to change the head to SOLVED ?

You cannot change your posts after you have posted them. Maybe the groups 
owner can, but I am not certain about that.
The best you can do is to post that your problem has been solved and maybe 
how it was solved, if that is not already evident from the prior posts.

I'm running dcron in all my machines (x86, arm, etc) without any issue.

I'd like to know why you had any issue at all...

Hello Juan,
I'm not sure why sv status reports dcron the way it does..
0 userx ~ $ sudo sv s dcron
run: dcron: (pid 769) 3704s; down: log: 1832s, normally up

but cronjobs are being executed normal. 
Since first tests relied on notify-send I had to export dbus-sessions which 
I didn't account for at first.
