Cron daemon Fails

During startup i get this error:

:: Starting Cron Daemon                                                  [FAIL]

Tried starting cron again after boot but i get the same message. I dont know what else to try. Thanks for the help.

Re: Cron daemon Fails

Are you sure crond isn't already running? Try '/etc/rc.d/crond restart' to verify this.
