Re: checkarray not running or emailing

     Aha!  There it is, on both the old and new systems, so it probably 
is running.  The question remains, "Why isn't it posting to email?"

     Is there seriously no one here who knows how checkarray was 
launched in previous versions?

    I have upgraded 2 of my servers to Debian Buster, and now 
neither one seems to be running checkarray automatically.  In 
addition, when I run checkarray manually, it isn't sending update 
emails on the status of the job.  Actually, I have never been able 
to figure out how checkarray runs.  One my older servers, there 
doesn't seem to be anything in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.monthly, 
/etc/init.d/, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, or /lib/systemd/system/ that 
would run checkarray.
On mine it's in /etc/cron.d/mdadm

57 0 * * 0 root if [ -x /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray ] && [ $(date 
+\%d) -le 7 ]; then /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray --cron --all --idle 
--quiet; fi

dpkg -L mdadm gave me a list of files and I just checked the cron 
entries.

I don't run anything that recent, but Debian is Debian.
