[LBo] cron: can't lock /var/run/cron.pid

[Grasshopper]

Hi all,

I am becoming more adventurous with the konsole, it has a very nice
tutorial for newbies which really helped to find my way around.

I have heard a lot about 'crone' and googled to find out more info, and
decided to use.  This is the output as root, and the following commands
I found on the web  "#ps -C cron, # chmod 0755 mrtg and #ps from people
with similar problems.

How should I decipher it?

Many thanks.
