[ts-7000] Re: CRON and TS-7260

Jim-

I couldn't find cron running using ps.
$ps
  PID  Uid     VmSize Stat Command
    1 root        468 S   init [3]
    2 root            SW  [keventd]
    3 root            SWN [ksoftirqd_CPU0]

   81 nobody     1068 S   /www/apache/bin/httpd
   82 nobody     1068 S   /www/apache/bin/httpd
   89 root        684 S   -sh
  102 root        596 R   ps

When I type help bb, crond is in the list but not crontab.

To see if the cron daemon is installed I get a link for crond but 
nothing for crontab. This is before and after I used the ln -s to 
enable both crond and crontab.
$ which crond
/usr/sbin/crond
$ which crontab
$

How do I get crontab installed?
