Cron in Moode

[nosferatu_cat]

I decided to make a temperature log to see if a Pi 4 running Moode 9.x needed a fan.  I had trouble getting vcgencmd to write to a file using a cron job.  I tried a variety of approaches that all worked from the command line.  It turned out that cron was not running on my Pi. As soon as I restarted cron things worked. Is this a default in Moode or did I encounter an anomaly?
