[Bug 1002061] Re: cron does not log information

[C de-Avillez]

cron is started automatically on boot. If you try to start it manually,
it will fail as you show.

Either change /etc/init/cron.conf to add your parameters, or create
/etc/init/cron.override with *just* the following line:

exec cron -L4

And then 'sudo restart cron'.
