A better way to do things (just because it's "the right way"), would be 
to run /etc/init.d/cron restart.

The reason being anything in /etc/rcX.d is a symbolic link to 
/etc/init.d/.  The name of the link defines if the link should have 
start or stoped passed to it.  K means to stop the service, S means to 
start it, the number is a ordering, so a link that starts with S10 will 
run before one that starts with S15.  If two have the same number it 
falls to alphabetical order.
