I am using RHEL 5.4I killed the cron daemon accidentally. I wanted to stop a cron task, didn't know how to do it, ended up killing the cron daemon itself. How do I start it again?
How to start the cron daemon
rhel;cron;services
Depending on how your exact distribution is set up, /etc/init.d/cron start or variations thereupon might do the trick.
