		<title>Mac OS X &#038; cron not starting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Why Apple decided to not start cron by default&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. They did create a launchd startupitem, however, it&#8217;s got a funky twist. It looks to see if the cron tabs have been touched, then decides to run cron&#8230; after a reboot.

		<description><![CDATA[ This is rough fix&#8230; but it does work.
