Cron Not Starting on boot

[ryan.hamilton]

When my system starts up, cron is not running. (When I do a ps, tere's no cron, and the jobs are not running.) It appears that it should be started from
/System/Library/StartupItems/Cron
but doesn't seem to be. I can run
/usr/sbin/cron
or
/System/Library/StartupItems/Cron/Cron
manually and cron actually starts.

Any ideas?

Help?

Double-check that cron is running. by default the 'ps' command only lists your own processes. type ps -aux to view all processes on the system. You may want to pipe it to more.

ps aux |more
