I think you may need to describe what you are doing a little more. Cron as a process runs at bootup time and stays running while your PC is powered up (unless of course it crashes :-) ) It then wakes up every minute and checks the crontab (/etc/crontab) and the files in /var/spool/cron (system dependant) to see if it should do anything. As such your question doesnt really make any sense as cron is constantly running.. -- Steve.
