Rob thanks for trying this out! I'm not sure that daemon.log is where you'll see the errors. Did you look at /var/log/syslog? Also did cron fail to start at boot? I would only expect this to help in times where it fails. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592114 Title: upstart doesn't start cron automatically on boot in lucid for server on amd64 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
