Guys,

  Beginning 8/1 at 01:59, I began getting emails regarding "cron for user root job sys-hourly" that contain:

Usage: /usr/sbin/run-cron crondir

mkdir /etc/cron.hourly

This was caused by initscripts removing it's hwclock script from /etc/cron.hourly, and a bug in pacman then deleting the empty dir. AFAIK, it will be fixed in pacman 4.0. -t
