title: Setting up CRON on Ubuntu VPS
body: <p>The server has Ubuntu 12.10, and I tried to install <code>cron</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install cron
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output of the second command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  cron is already the newest version.
  The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
    php5-common
  Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then, when I tried <code>sudo /sbin/chkconfig crond on</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo: /sbin/chkconfig: command not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>sudo /sbin/service crond start</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo: /sbin/service: command not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is the <code>crond</code> located somewhere else? Or, do I miss something else?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> the output of <code>ps -ef | grep cron</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>root       716     1  0 May30 ?        00:00:15 cron
