problem starting cron as a service


I get this in the win app error log:

Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	cron
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	0
Date:		7/21/2003
Time:		2:14:08 AM
User:		BILLHOME\Administrator
Computer:	BILLHOME
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be found. The
local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: cron : PID 2276 : starting service `cron'
failed: execv: 0, No error.

While trying to start the service as Administrator (or from LocalSytems
account). I rm'd /var/run/cron.pid and /var/log/cron.log before trying to
start.

Thanks
