How do I restart my cron daemon, without rebooting the server?

Thanks

Re: cron daemon restart

/sbin/init.d/cron stop
/sbin/init.d/cron start
"The difference between me and you? I will read the man page." and "Respect the hat." and "You could just do a search on ITRC, you don't need to start a thread on a topic that's been answered 100 times already." Oh, and "What. no points???"

Re: cron daemon restart

Hi:

This should be setup automatically. Verify that '/etc/rc.config.d/cron' has:

CRON=1

This should cause '/sbin/init.d/cron' to launch your daemon.

Verify your run-level with 'who -r'. The cron daemon should be started at runlevel 2 --- see '/sbin/rc2.d/*cron*'.

You can manually stop/start 'cron' with:

# /sbin/init.d/cron stop
# /sbin/init.d/cron start

Regards!
