Details - I'm running HEAD (9a08c10 BUILD_ID="r5968+31-bcd17ce") on an x86_64.  I've enabled:


CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CROND=y
CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CRONTAB=y


and I've validated that /etc/init.d/cron enable and then tried to run it:


root at OpenWrt3:~# /etc/init.d/cron enable
root at OpenWrt3:~# /etc/init.d/cron start
root at OpenWrt3:~# echo $?
0
root at OpenWrt3:~# ps -w | grep cron
14918 root      3088 S    grep cron
root at OpenWrt3:~# grep cron /var/log/messages
root at OpenWrt3:~#
